Had some fun last night with the storm passing though. Thought I'd share.....

Nice. What was your exposure length and aperture? Taken with a 15mm Canon fisheye 2 seconds @ f2.8 Canon 30D This is a composite of 7 strikes. Only the sky was layer masked to show all the bolts in a 5 min period. I first tried longer exposures with a smaller f-stop, but found the lightning wasn't bright enough at that distance to record a clear bolt. |

Quoted:
What white balance setting is recommended for lightening shots? I tend to use Sun white balance. I almost never use Auto as it changes between each shot. Since I shoot in RAW, I like the ability to globally change the white balance in LR on all the photos at the same time. With Auto, I'd have to do it individually. |

I cant wait for monsoon! one of the last ones you posted looks like it was a little close eh? All the ones taken from low to the ground were all taken in the same storm. My dumbass was outside under an awning trying to stay dry and non-electrocuted!! A couple of the bolts were definitely 'in the neighborhood"....... |
