Your welcome Jeff,
How on earth did you do this? Just amazing! Hoops are my favorite sport...so very cool. It is inspiring me to get a real camera. I can't do this with an iphone.

Thanks Terishors. Agreed - may be difficult to capture lightning with an iphone. :) In this case, I used a 13 second exposure, which was long enough to light the basketball goal, but not so long that I would capture multiple lightning strikes (it was a very active lightning storm). I also bumped the ISO up to 800. In post-processing, I adjusted the tonal curve and clarity a bit, cropped/straightened, and this was the result. Happy shooting, and have fun with the new camera! :)
See all
