Lammie Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Snapped a nice ol' bolt of lightning a few nights ago. Shot with a Kodak DX something...... 5MP, 16 sec exposure, blah. Anone else got some lightning snaps? 1
Guest Ray Falling Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Sweet! Always wanted to do that but we dont get lightning like that in the city. 0_0 ;_;
Lammie Posted September 21, 2005 Author Posted September 21, 2005 My friend lives on top of a hill and on the night I took this pic his house was struck by lightning and burnt down. Moral of story: Dont live on hills.
The3rdChildren Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 It's like a death atlas in the sky...
RoadKill Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 That looks pretty fucking cool, I mostly only see lame sheet lightning with no obvious forking and source.
bob Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 How did you know where the lighting was going to strike?
CoolFunkMan Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Woah, that pic is amazing! If it was larger it would make an excellent desktop background! Kudos to you. *Adds +1 rep* Sorry to hear about your friend tho
Lammie Posted September 22, 2005 Author Posted September 22, 2005 I can post a wallpaper sized shot if anyone is interested. How did you know where the lighting was going to strike? I have the fastest reflexes in the world........ Ok.....maybe not. I just set the camera to leave the shutter open for about 16 seconds. Then I sit there and hope there's a lightning strike during that 16 seconds.
