Lighting shots people... get em here.

If you look closely, there is a plane underneath this bolt.

I had the aperture too high though, the lighting overexposed like a bitch. Had to drag it down.

That's the kind of thing that'd make me want to speed up the plane a little. As irrational as that may be.

Nice shot though. How'd you go about getting the timing for it?

Just got lucky, i originally tried to get like 1/500 shots... until i realised my reflexed just weren't going to be faster than the speed of light hahaha.

I just put it on a bit of a long exposure, and i got lucky as everytime i pressed the shutter on my cord remote, a second later a bolt hit.

There were only 5 last night, which i was disappointed by.

I guess you could literally stand there, hit the shutter have it on long exposure rinse and repeat.

But i was on a ferry wharf and the big thing kept getting in my shot. Grr

Great shots, now that's proper lightning... i'd imagine the lightning in your photos would beat up the lightning in my photos at school and demand lunch money.
