[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 164275, member: 12198"] Thanx guys learning to use manual and choosing my own settings has really raised it to another level of fun. I'm really enjoying learning and playing. Since hubby has realized how fun it is it makes it even more fun. The first lightning shot was using my 70-300mm and I just swung my tripod towards where lightning had last struck while taking moon shots. I really just got lucky as mysettings worked and I got a sky light up almost as soon as I hit the shutter on my 30sec exposure and then half way through I got an actual lightning bolt. Its really an "almost" since most of the bolt is down behind building I was shooting over but hubby heard "yeah" from inside the house and so started our evening of watching the storm and deciding where we thought the next strike might happen :) [/QUOTE]
