Lightning strikes at IAD
These are my first storm/lightning shots! Got lucky at work this week.Right on the other side of the tree line is Dulles International Airport. All of these strikes had to hit somewhere near terminal/tarmac area.
Thanks for looking!

Those are some great shot's bgg! The one with the big ball is interesting. One thing is for shure, every one is a "one of a kind " image. I'm going to have to try this some time. Cool shots, thanks for posting.

Verry Nice Bgg; Everytime I go out to capture Lightening, My wife yells at me! L.o.l
Actually I havn't tried to do much of this type of capture, but I really admire those that do. I have a nice canon timer, perhaps I'll try this next time we have a big storm. Thanks for sharing these Chewys dad.

Thanks again!
Thank you for all the nice comments!
My settings- ISO- 100 DOF- f/22 Speed- 8 secs. Length- 17 mm I did have to do some post work, not much though, brightness, contrast,levels, very little selective color. If anybodyknows- When I was taking these, I would have the exposure meter dead center, well when I did get a shot with lightning in it, the lightning would completely change everything giving me a real bright shot. So I shopped it to what you see. I am not sure if I should underexpose to compensate in advance or leave settings as these were shot. (That was a statement not a question (hee hee).) |

Great shots. Lightening is so difficult to capture.
