[QUOTE="westmill, post: 54435, member: 9330"] Lens speed makes no differance here. Go for outright quality. Stop down to wherever your lens performs at its best. Use 200 ISO also. A fast 50 prime makes sense, since an F1.8 will peak at around F4. This means your getting stunning quility at what is still a pretty fast speed. This is good as long as it rather dark, otherwise your exposures will be shorter, reducincg the chances of catching the lightning. A good and prob the best method here is set your exposure for 30 seconds and also set your camera and shoot intervals. Your camera should be capable of simply firing off exposures all day long. You would have to be unlucky for the lightning to strike during the next exposure lol. [/QUOTE]
