Second lightning pic
Quite the storm and a good effort. I've been thinking of using my camcorder
as well since the lightning strikes are few and far between in what storms we've had. And they've all been in daytime. jim "Ge Nidee" wrote in message b.home.nl...

And the second one, not good quality... There is nothing to feel bad about there. Neither you or for that matter anyone else ever saw my first tries - They were not as good as yours! If you have a Still Camera here are some tips that might help you capture Lightning images. Set your Camera to Manual Focus. Then Focus to something far away and leave it. This also works for daytime lightning! Lightning is a multiple event. There's never a single strike, but rather a quick series of strikes. So for daytime Lightning if your focus is set if you have your camera ready when you see a bolt if your reactions are fairly quick you have a really good chance of catching it because your camera won't be trying to focus during the strike. A nonDSLR camera is better for daytime lightning because it reacts quicker. It doesn't have to wait for the mirror to get out of the way! Leave the Shutter and Aperture in the Auto mode. That way if you pan to a new area your exposure will be fine. I'm considering getting a Pocket camera for Daytime Lightning and Hummingbirds! For nighttime I use either 30 second exposures or the bulb setting with the camera set to ISO 200 and the F-stop set somewhere in the midrange for the lens. I've found the combination of slow ISO and somewhat closed Aperture keeps the Lightning from "blooming". The lightning provides plenty of light so don't worry about being underexposed ;-). Hope this helps in your next try. Crazy Ed
