    Default First Lightning Shot

    Just taken about 15 minutes ago. Shot in Shutter Priority. Should anything be different? Critique welcome.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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

    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.
