Chain Lightning
This is my first DPS post. I've been trying to capture lightning for months now and have been taking a lot of night shots for practice. The storm was perfect and allowed me to sit under my back covered porch and shoot many many many times without getting wet. I used my remote shutter and bulb for taking shots. Some brightness/contrast adjustments and changed Auto WB to Tungsten. I hope you like it!
 (Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated) Camera Model Canon EOS 40D Firmware Version 1.0.8 Shooting Date/Time 5/26/2009 8:32:03 PM Shooting Mode Manual Exposure Tv( Shutter Speed ) 8 Av( Aperture Value ) 4.5 Metering Mode Evaluative Metering ISO Speed 100 Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Focal Length 28.0mm Image Size 3888x2592 Image Quality RAW Flash Off White Balance Mode Auto AF Mode Manual focusing Picture Style Standard Sharpness 3 Contrast 0 Saturation 0 Color tone 0 Color Space sRGB Long exposure noise reduction 0:Off High ISO speed noise reduction 0:Off Highlight tone priority 0  isableFile Size 10903KB Dust Delete Data No Drive Mode Single shooting
