My very first Lightning shots

[bob williams]

I would try to crop out the first one in panorama-style. It looks amazing.


What settings did you use?

Settings: 7D, 24-105L @ 24mm, ISO 100, F11, 30 Second exposure, shutter release, Tripod. All Shots were taken off of my back porch. I tried to frame out all of the nieghborhood distractions like street lights, telephone poles etc but still leave some reference to the ground, i.e. trees. In hind site, my 10-22 may have been a better choice since the lightning was so close.


Her is the crop you suggested:
