By the way, any details on how you captured the lightning so well? Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago
I have a pretty good gallery of lightning shots that include both scenarios. It depends on that cadence of the strikes. In Arizona we get some pretty intense events that will produce multiple strikes simultaneously. In this scenario if the ambient light is cooperating I will shoot for a single exposure with an intervalometer exposing for 3 secs., int 3 secs, continuous. Other events where you might only see a strike every few minutes I will long expose (30 secs.) stopped down to about f11 and iso 100. What I found to be most effective is to standby and if I capture a single strike on long exposure I will manually reset timer so I don't inadvertently capture more than one strike (unless that is my goal at the time). I will post another shot that will blow your mind at how large it was and again it was a single strike that spanned about 1-2 miles or 4-5 km. Lastly I do hand-hold and bang out shots in intense storms so I can control better the ambient light. Hope that answers your question. I didn't proof so hopefully it makes sense.
