Amazing picture!!! I tried to get a good pic of the lightening here, but the camera didn't go off quick enough T_T

You don't need quick camera It is better to take shots like this in the night, with long time exposition. Shutter was opened for a 30 seconds. If there is a lot of lightnings, you will get more than one in the picture

SpazzAttack96 In reply to Dark-Raptor [2011-05-30 17:43:22 +0000 UTC]

Yeah... I was just waiting and BAM! I saw lightening and as soon as I saw it I clicked the camera and... I didn't get anything... T_T I shal try again sometime.

how does one capture a pic like this... i can never get anything in a thunder and lightning storm

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Dark-Raptor In reply to IANTAYLOR [2011-05-30 10:34:10 +0000 UTC]

It is easier to do this in the night. With long exposure the chanses are much greater than during the day. Here, shutter was opened for almost 30 seconds.

Just the long exposure. Almost all pictures were taken with 30s exposition. It was almost impossible to get picture without the lightning

Is this really real? Looks like one of those cartoons where rain and lightning come out from a lonely solitary singular dark cloud.

This somehow reminds me of a portuguese man o' war.

Yes, I see similarity

It is real, I will upload more soon. But I don't want my protfolio to be a bit too homogeneous

Do post some more. It'll add a bit homogeneous variety to your jumping spider and tree frog collection.

I think the lightning strikes behind that cloud. We had a bit of luck to get it in this position
