Description Through like 500 pictures of just opening the shutter for a few seconds, I got two or three good pictures of the lightning, and this was one of my favourites.

Thanks I suppose it was actually purple, as all I did was add a bit of contrast.

vityav In reply to yoxx [2006-06-08 10:03:28 +0000 UTC]

I sat and held the shutter open on my camera for generally about 3 seconds at a time and hoped lightning would strike where I was pointing the camera That night lightning was striking just about every other second, but it was all around, so I was just hoping to get lucky, and I did

thank you for sharing great tips like this

vityav In reply to yoxx [2006-06-08 10:18:52 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I hope that was sarcasm, seeing as how it wasnt exactly a tip , but if you're going for tips, I would say with lightning you cant try to take the picture as the lightning is striking, you just hold the shutter open (not too long or it will overexpose) and start a new picture every couple of seconds (or less if youre not near a city or any source of light that would cause overexposure). In a big lightning storm the waste of pictures will be worth the result It also helps to have photoshop and adjust the contrast levels (ctrl+L in CS2) if you are near a city and do get light pollution.

Hope those work as far as tips , althought judging by the quality of your gallery, I don't think its anything you didnt know already

Very nice lightning photo. You caught some great color and flash channel. Lightning photography can be a tricky thing, but you're started, so hey, now you just gotta keep practicing. At least you have the priveledge of shooting digital SLR, I'm still shooting it on 35mm, lol, it can be tough. But it's still fun to go get the film developed, it's like christmas all over again. Keep up the great work.

vityav In reply to Tomcat088 [2006-06-08 10:02:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you I would hate to try it on film, at least with digital you can get rid of all of the shots you miss without too much trouble but then again, the idea of christmas is pretty nice

Tomcat088 In reply to vityav [2006-06-08 16:18:58 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I guess I had to be quick on the learning curve shooting film, because I can't afford only 3 good ones out of 500. If you'd ever like some recommendations or tips, I'd be happy to try to help you out a bit. I'm gonna buy a 20D soon, so that I can actually work with digital, I'm excited. The Christmas feeling is definately interesting, sometimes you're so happy, or it can be a major let down, lol.

You just have to love lightnings, especially at nights, when they just lit everything up, and then you just wait for the big fat BANG, and then just silence or possibly rain again, waiting for the next one...

Tried take some pics of lightnings before too, but I was waay to slow (=
Anyway, this one is amazing, you'd have to be really patient to get a pic like this, great work.

vityav In reply to Dain-Bramaged [2006-06-06 22:59:49 +0000 UTC]

definately, the bang is the best part although that night there was lightning every few seconds, the trick was catching it in the right spot since it was in all directions.
I'm not exactly patient, I just took tons of pictures
and thank you very much for the
