Anyone shooting lighting now?

[nyxx88]

There's been lightning flashing across the sky in central part of Singapore for the past 2 hours or so. Anyone shooting?

If yes, kindly share the photos here. If I got time, I will post mine.

Think I will give up after posting these few pictures. There is less lightning now . Don't want to kill my shutter :P.

Thanx guys. Guess I am fortunate enough to be up to catch it. Supposed to be working to prepare for tomorrow :P. I am quite thankful for that huge construction crane that I used as part of the background.

That's what I called 'the right moment at the right time' dude.

Oops!! Just read the description of the sub-forums. I think this is more suited for the "
Land/City-scapes and Travel" sub-forum instead of "World of Nature".

Mods: Can help move this thread? Apologies for the inconvenience.

Capturing the lightning is evidently thrilling, but without a good foreground or theme, is not so good. Anyway, great capture as there are risk involved

BTW, care to share ur settings? I looked into ur exif but there's none? Are you using a digicam?

Cheers..

Not too much of risk as I was hiding in one of the rooms in my home

Settings? Just checked the pictures, the EXIF info is still there leh.... Anyway, here goes:
- Mode: manual, on a tripod
- ISO: 200
- Shutter: 15 seconds
- Aperture: varies between 5 to 6.3 (but when there is lots of lightning, it gets really bright in the picture)


p/s - I got too busy posting the pictures, I left my camera at the window. Then when I checked it, there were some tiny raindrops on my filter . Faster keep it in dry cabinet first .

Precisely, I'm talking about the rain. I'm not so concerned about lightning though, feel that striking toto 1st price is easier

About a week ago, I tried too. But the rain drops smeared my lens. I decided not to risk it and I gave up Dry thunderstorm is the best. Looks like you got one just now. Well done!
