30" exposure using a canon 10-22 EFS (@10mm).


mother nature did the rest!

Take cover!

Wow, those are great. nice work.

Dang! Very nice capture here, what was the aperture if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks all!

Aperature was 14 for both with ISO 200.

took me all summer to get it right (for midnight storms, which is mostly what we get here).

Amazing shots!

Armageddon!
(You might want to straighten the horizon.)

If you would have fixed the horizon line would have been a great shoot.

I beg to differ on the horizon line. I think the lightning strikes make for an unusual shot, a beautiful one at that, and the perspective in the photos, including the horizon line, fits well with the apparent chaos of the lightning strike. I love #2, by the way.

Thanks for sharing your settings, I would have never guessed to use a 30 second exposure for lightning. I will have to attempt this!
