brandon Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Last night insomnia proved to be productive. As I was laying in bed I started to see flashes of lightning coming from west of Detroit. at about 230am the storm got within shooting distance so I got my camera out and started firing away..enjoy!

Hellfish Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thank you for that Brandon. Is there a reason you used iso 800 instead of adding a extra second or two for exposure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spincast Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 outstanding as always Brandon! Nicely done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 thanks again everyone! Brian, the way I shoot lightning is basically the same way I shoot a time lapse. I manually set the exposure, then I take one exposure after the other hoping to capture some lightning. Each exposure is anywhere from 2-30 seconds. Hellfish, the 800 ISO was just what I was trying that night. I'm still new to lightning photography and was merely experimenting. Next time will be smaller ISO with a longer exposure.

Hellfish Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Well ISO800 worked well if you ask me. The purple/pink is something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
