It was a little cool this morning, but early bird gets the worm, right? I passed this location on a ride a couple of days ago. I saw the bright yellow canola field in the background behind these old farm buildings and thought it might be a potential photo op. Here's my shoot this morning.

​

16x9 @1920x1080 of above

These were shot with my 24-105mm lens. I took a few with the 16-35mm and definitely not as impressed with those results.

i) small aperture, long shutter speed (10-20 sec), low ISO,
ii) camera on tripod pointed at an area where lightning is expected
iii) fingers crossed
iv) ???
v) PROFIT!

@bd43 - I use a cheapo Tamron 70-300 f4.5-5.6. on a Canon 1000d Fire off enough shots and you get a few keepers like that... about (10-20 %)....

Nice purchase Dan! I've got a 50d and love it! I don't shoot video, and the 500d just feels to small in my hands.

Yup. I shot those at 23sec, ISO 200, f 13. I was huddled behind a shortened Tripod in the back of My ford Edge with the hatch up on the top of a hill in the middle of a storm cell.

I took about 50 shots and ended up with 5 or 6 keepers.

I'm not a phographer of any kind, just like a kid with a magnifying glass, trying to take some cool photos.

camera: Canon powershot 210 IS

mostly I played around with the camera angle, focus point, contrast, shutter speed and diafragma value...

 

[stink989]

just got myself a canon 550d
cant wait to get some real shots. have a few i have taken with my girlfriends 450d i will put up

 

[rino60]

Just bought my girl a 550D with the twin lens kit, a handful of extra filters and a sun-hood. She loves it, which is great for me, as I'll get her old pentax K series.

Here is a teaser of my weekends activity

 

[Kriswithak]

Nice stuff!!!
I have a 500d and I got the extra battery grip bit/thing that bolts on, which makes the camera feel a bit more full sized, and it lasts for thousands of shots (well over a thousand, i took 1200+ shots one day and it was still going strong)!!! Plus you get a connector that will take AA batteries incase your proper batteries run out which is great as well! I keep a set of 16 batteries in my camera bag just incase.

Its a great little camera, I took video with it for a video editing class at uni, and it did an awesome job.
