Aug 02, 2011 10:19 | #2 I can see why it's your favorite. Very dramatic and nicely done. Did you have one of those automatic lightning sensors or do you shoot with long exposures? 1DX, ID MKIII, 24-70 2.8L, 70-200 2.8L, 16-35 2.8L, 100 macro, 600EX-RTs, ST-E3-RT, Einsteins, Kacey Beauty Dish with a cracked grid, yada yada

Puts the horizon on the lower 1/3 line and the line of clouds on the upper 1/3 line and looks a little more pleasing to my eye, but then it's nice as it is too.

"A great photographer can take great shots with an Iphone but a mediocre photographer can ruin a shot with a 1dsmkIV. My camera is like the brush I paint a house with...I'm just looking for my detail brush, and a roller, and some high gloss paint, and a sprayer, yeah a sprayer would make things easier."

I have no idea where I read that a few years back. I've seen some decent tutorials on how to build lightning and sounds triggers... Wish I could help you out more.

I found one using an arduino and a photoresistor, all of which I have, so I just need to write the code for it and find a cord to plug it into the camera with. BLOG
