I took these one night from my back porch. What I realized is that the exposure and timing is the easy part, but if you really want a great lighting shot, its all about the foreground and trying to capture from cloud to ground, so keep that in mind when you are seeking a place to shoot from:


These shots were taking at F11, ISO 100, 30 sec exposure, focus set at infinity, tripod and timer----Just point the camera in the direction or just ahead of the lightning, then start shooting 30 second exposures----If your not driving, have a couple of[B][B] and enjoy the show.


One these shots I was happy with the exposure, but not so happy with the foreground---, again, it's from my backporch.











Good Luck and enjoy the storm, this really is a lot of fun
