Pretty sure it was two seconds. Some shots I had it set for 8, but when it struck it blew everything out and was extremely overexposed.

[uproot]

woah :eek: looks awesome

[A.P. Photography]

Oh yeah and for crit. I like it except the tree in the center takes away from the overall pic.

I think it's a cool shoot. Props. :goodjob:

[Hulud]

damn how many shots did you take to finally get one?

Yeah, I definatly hear that. Thing that sucks though is that there are no street lights in the culdesac where I live, so I just had to set the focus manually ( cause it couldnt get a lock on) and pan out wide in hopes Id capture anything :lmao:

All things considered, much props man. Good job.

Very cool George!!

I wonder if you would have put it on manual, cranked the Aperature up to say 16-20 and set the shutter at 8 how it would have turned out. What was the Aper. on that shot?

Thanks! Scared the living fuck outta me after it struck :lmfao:

# Shutter Speed: 10/25 second
# F Number: F/3.5

I may have to try it one day and crank the aper up and set the shutter for 5-8 secs and see how it comes out.

So did you go inside to change your pants after it hit :lmao:

[Nemesis]

Oh yes! My ass was in the garage the whole time though. Imagine me getting struck by lighting while standing near my tripod lol

:goodjob: For getting a god shot! I tried all last night to capture it. All of mine came out overexpsed.

I dunno... I'm imagining the shot w/out the tree and I think it will be "boring" w/out the tree. The tree adds a lil "flava" IMO.

[Nemesis]

Damn , that's wierd...at work the image looks darker. I could see the houses more on my monitor at home.

[Mike Lowrey]

Great photo! :goodjob:

[Nemesis]

Or you could just grab a 6pk of Bud Light and knock on the door.

But that kills the Voyeur in him. He has to see but not been seen.
