Shooting lightning isn't that hard. Basically you hold the shutter open until the lightning strikes and then close it. You just have to have some luck because you never know where the lightning is going to hit :) Might take some experimenting on the iris settings and on the film choice :)

Btw, I've seen a lightning strike from 30 meters away from me. Scared the bgsus out of me :)

Lol ... I live in a penthouse .. and you don´t know how many times we´ve had close encounters ... shitty things are noisy. hehe

Well that is nature on his Best ! but the best thing to do is not, and I repeat NOT to stick your fingure in the air when there is lightning !

And the picture is just beatifull !

Roman 01-10-2002 07:47 PM

FYI Fun Fact:

A lightning bolt is hotter than the surface of the Sun.

adldesigner 08-10-2002 11:09 PM

ouch .. that would explain the "toasty" look on cartoon characters when hit .. hehe

Roman 09-10-2002 08:06 PM
