Amazing photos mellow :thumbup: My goal this storm season is to score my first lighnting pics , now all we need is a storm :rolleyes:... What shutter speed do you use in these 2 pics ??
 
Thanks Daniel. OK, here's the trick to shoot lightning.

I had the setting in manual for iso 100, F5.6 and 4 seconds exposure. Once you notice an area of lightning activity, keep shooting over and over. Easiest way is to use an intervalometer... as if you're doing time lapse photography. I took literally hundreds of empty shots over 45 minutes and caught only 4 light rods. Luckily, memory card usage is free... unlike film days.

Another trick is keeping the lens free from rain drops. I had a few shots ruined from it. Lastly, you MUST have a steady, heavy duty tripod. Strong winds will likely affect long exposure shots.

Good luck!
 
i haven't touched my camera in a few years, the long exposure shots are not easy, i had a 12 sec. exposure to get a really great pic of the moon one time, took about 10 tries to do it with out it being blurry but i got it. beautiful lightning tho

Nice shot Humpy... I don't use photoshop much but my suggestion is to do yourself a favor and get Adobe's Lightroom. It's pretty much all I use. What you wanted to do takes only seconds with a tool called graduated filter in Lightroom.

I'm sure many of you have heard the news... but for myself, grew up with the phrase, 'Kodak Moment' means something memorable. Let's hope they survive this and continue the name.

Just imagine, they actually invented the first digital camera in mid '70s. They were way ahead of its time but never executed the concept.:banghead: :shakehead: :banghead:
 
Here's a couple car shots that I took last summer, but it was 95+ and the sun was beating down and making it rather difficult to get shots without a ton of glare/reflections/blowouts. Plus I was sweating my boys off. haha. I wasn't happy with most of the original pics, so I ran them through a Photoshop plugin and gave them this weird effect. Ignore my crappy 30 second yellow-out of the guys plate number too lol
