[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 164580, member: 12198"] I just finally was able to capture lightning this weekend. Not sure if my way was a good way but it worked for me this time. I Focused to infinity (focus on something very far away I had the moon) then set lens and camera to manual focus, turned off VR and placed on sturdy tripod. I played with my aperture but found my best at f14 and my iso was 320 (200 was too dark so upped it). I set shutter to 30sec exposure, pointed lens to where I hoped lightning would flash next and waited. Sometimes I got a flash sometimes I got 2 and sometimes I got none in my 30secs but I had fun and got a few shots [/QUOTE]
