Taking Pictures of Lightning

When severe storms rolled into my hometown of Chatfield the other night, they can with a great lightning show. So, I decided to try and catch some action on my camera.

Now, I’ve tried this before and it’s not an easy task unless your camera is setup to automatically take a picture every few seconds. Mine isn’t, but I was still able to get a few great shots due to the large amount of lighting and lots of patients.

Most of my 200 pictures turned out like this:
Black Sky

However, I did manage to catch lightning a few times:
100_2800

100_2772

100_2775

100_2673

100_2766

100_2797

I have a few more on my Zooomr profile if you’d like to check them out. Overall, I’m very happy with my lightning pictures. :)
