Haven't seen a Post now for a day and a half. But here's a shot from
tonight of a Storm wandering over the Chiricahua Mountains towards here.

I never ever did catch lightning on film (or on chip for that matter
). You either have lots and lots of lighting there ... or you have a
special technique.
Great shot again :-)

Combination of the two. Last night there was a LOT of Lightning for ~20
minutes. As to technique, For the night time shots I put my Camera on a
Tripod, set the Shutter to the "BULB" setting and just hold the shutter open
until a Lightning Flash occurs. Being out in the Country the City Lights
don't wash out the image. As to the Day Time shots, well they're just dumb
luck ;-).

Great shot again :-)


Menno, Thanks Again.

Ok, night shots that way I don't have to try he living in the middle of a
city, even with low ASA/ISO and high F it is impossible. Ah well, once I
will catch one ... ;-)

Menno, it really sounds like you need to get out of Town ;-).
