Thread: Caught some Lightning over Adelaide tonite!

Great Pic
What sort of Camera do you have

If he was at the bottom of that right hand strike, None now.

Great shot woodbe. What lens did you use on the 5D?

I took it with the 24-105 at about 40mm/F8. It's actually an 8 second exposure at 1000 ISO, I was taking a time-lapse sunset sequence that I kept runnng because the weather was rolling in and I was interested to see how it all turned out.

I'll see if I can make a small enough version of the time-lapse to post on the net. It's quite interesting to watch.

Hi Nev,

It's a Canon 5D, but you could have taken this shot with anything that has time exposure. It's just a matter of having the shutter open and the camera pointing the right way when the lightning strikes.

Piece of cake, really.

Great Shot

Hi. I've squashed the time-lapse down to a bit over a megabyte: Click the picture below to access the movie. Needs Quicktime.
