So last night we had a pretty fun storm, it really lit up the night. I decided to go out and try and take some pictures of lightning. I equipped my trusty tripod and went out on the deck. Here is a sample of what I got:
I found that it was easier to just set the camera to manual focus, and a relatively long shutter speed 1/2-1.3 secs and about f/5.6-7.1. Then I would just constantly take pictures, eventually I got lucky. Out of about 230 pictures, I got the ones you see in my gallery.
I also found that I need to clean my DSLR, cuz there was a dust spot on most of the pictures (note to self: should clean my sensor soon), and that I have dead pixels on it, too. Just have to wait until that rumored announcement happens, whenever that is….
