Some pics of lightning i took tonight

Thought they were interesting enough to share.

nice it was goin crazy out there

I sat out and wathced it for a while, but went to bed before the rain started. Nice pics.

Very nice. I love watching lightning.

Cool Justin. Great pics.

Thank you. I have been wanting to take pics of lightning for a while but it has not stormed in quite some time.

Thats bad@ss!!! Your camera is so much better than mine.... I couldn't get the damn thing to snap when the lightening was out......

It automatically snaps when it senses movement I believe...Justin is this right?

Cool pics. It started doing this about 1/2 way through The Haunting in Connecticut. And the wife was not liking it

Any camera has a setting for a long exposure. But the trick is you have to have a tripod. I set it on a tripod and set the exposure to 20 seconds and the apeature at 5.6 with my 18mm to 55mm lens and just press the shutter and it stays open for the alotted time, which in this case was 20 seconds and it will capture any lightning with in that time. Its all luck as for what you get. i had a lot of pictures that did not have a thing in it but dark skies because there was not lightning at that time. But yes jarrod you are correct in some sense. There is an adapter you can buy that senses the lightning and takes the exposure for you and you can just sit back and enjoy the show with out having to do anything.

I need a tripod! The one I was born with won't work for this!!! Hahahah

Nice pics Justin. T-Bone and I sat outside last night and watched the show.

Yea.. I love watching that stuff. Its just crazy to see the how every lightning strike is different and unique in its shape and angle.
