Tractor Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Was that storm down at groveport or up in columbus? I was trying to take some pics of it as well, but only got one keeper out of the bunch. I was at my house in marengo and could see it low over the south-southwest.

Evan I live in Grandview, and it was lightning like crazy around here for a while last night. Not sure where else it was, but I imagine it was city-wide?

unfunnyryan Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I was out walking my dog last night and saw a lot of that storm way out to the west before it hit columbus. It was pretty neat watching all the bolts of lightning in the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I wonder if setting the white balance to daylight would have provided a more real look? I'm not an expert on lightning photography for sure since I've only tried a couple times, but from where I was standing the lightning had a red tint to it and your looks like maybe the camera selected a color temp closer to tungsten.

Evan I had the WB set to Auto. I think that photoshop or my nikon software will allow me to change the WB. F stop was at its maximum (around 3.5-4) and the shutter was controlled manually.

SPLN SUX Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I heard thunder for the first time out here and it was pretty intense. I think the combination of being upper atmosphere storms and deflection off the mountians, makes the thunder sound like fucking explosions. I called my sister to see if she heard it and said, yea, thats just thunder... i swear i thought a building dropped or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
