Re: Post your weather pictures here From what I have been told by a gentlemen that does a lot of weather photography. He closes down his aperture a lot then uses an extremely long exposure time.
The link below shows the results. »www.wxnut.net/storms.htm
He says he has a lightening trigger as well, but doesn't get as good a result with it. |

I did close down the aperture as much as I could, but it was the middle of the day and I was standing in bright sunlight shooting into the storm, so getting truly long exposures wouldn't have been possible without a filter of some sort. That's why I gave up the single shots and tried to capture lightning with the drive mode turned on, figuring that with all the lightning my eyes were seeing, a hundred exposures ought to catch *something*.
They didn't.  -- Ha ha haaaaaaa....ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

I really never have tried to capture lightening yet, but well, it does travel at the speed of light. |
