[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 334477, member: 11881"] [USER=27458]@traceyjj[/USER] My method is to wait for a truly active thunderhead that has some consistency in generating lightning. I then shoot long exposure (night) of about 30 seconds with a wide angle lens. If lightning goes off I have an exposed shot. No lightning and I have a picture of the darkness. A really good thunderhead will have almost a timing and once you're in the groove you can pick up a lot of shots. Or, if you're out of the groove you seem to miss a lot - FRUSTRATION. I also shoot with my widest lens unless the storm is really tight and consistent in where the lightning is discharging at. Triggering the camera is my remote or a 2 second timer delay. [/QUOTE]
