Likwid Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 thanks! It was kind of funny.. grabbed the camera, set the shutter/iso/aperture by guessing pressed the shutter..... first picture caught the lightning....Next 50 pictures were all black lol.

ReconRat Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 No kidding. I've wasted many rolls of film and lots of bucks trying to catch lightning with time exposures. And never got anything near as good as that. There is a hack for some cameras, that will slave the shutter to the flash of the lightning. That will catch every one that is in view.

scottb Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 That is how that Ansel Adams guy took that pic of Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1941. He parked his car, put the camera on the roof of the car, clicked the shutter one time and left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, was a complete guess on shutter speed, I was afraid 1600 was going to be too dark but didn't really have a lot of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 That is how that Ansel Adams guy took that pic of Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1941. He parked his car, put the camera on the roof of the car, clicked the shutter one time and left.THAT is amazing! He just had the gift, and I think a little help from above with some of his photos.oh crap that's a good idea! Either way, was a complete guess on shutter speed, I was afraid 1600 was going to be too dark but didn't really have a lot of time.Holy crap! I was gonna gues that you did a long exposure on a tripod for that, seeing the amount of background light! I just wonder how it would look with a smaller aperature (bigger number to clarify) and slower shutter would've worked to filter out some of the "stuff" in the pic?

chrisknight Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Awesome! I was just talking about doing this last night. I have an old 35mm camera my grandpa gave me. You really have to be away from the city lights though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Did anyone notice the heart shape about 1/4 of the way down the lightning bolt? It's interesting that it would take such a complex path, and cross, or nearly cross it's own path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
