[QUOTE="kevy73, post: 507691, member: 23493"] So yesterday in Perth it was a scorcher - 38 c (100 F). Weddings on days like this are always challenging. I take around 10 litres of water with me and pretty much all of it goes after a day of shooting plus the water I drink at the reception. Yesterday was no exception. Seriously hot. But late in the evening the most wonderful thing happened. Some storm clouds appeared and we were treated to a wonderful light show of lightning. I grabbed the bride and groom and we headed outside. I set my camera on my tripod with cable release on ISO 100, F11 and Bulb shutter speed. My flash was on 1/2 power rear sync. I asked the bride and groom to stand as still as they possibly could. I knew the flash would freeze them ok, but I didn't want too much ghosting. I then held the shutter open and hoped for some flashes during the 15 - 20 seconds the shutter was open for. Managed to get this one that I was pretty pleased with without having to do anything with it. I got lots of others, but there is some movement and blur I am going to have to try and fix up. But yeah - I was pretty stoked with this. [IMG]https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t31.0-8/12237962_1189011997781140_994941718538263602_o.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
