- How do you predict the time lightning will strike to click the shutter at the same time?
- How do you select the exposure as everything is dark till lightning strikes?
Here is what I did:
- Pointed the camera at approximately the direction in which maximum lightning was occurring
- Selected Manual Exposure and chose a long exposure of about 20 seconds and f4 (I could have chosen slightly higher aperture at say f5.6)
- Selected Manual Focus and set it to infinity
- Clicked and prayed there would be a lightning strike in those 20 seconds
The horizontal streaks are headlights of other vehicles passing by during the 20 sec exposure
Why do I feel... I have read all this before??
