Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken from my balcony, lightening has been something that excites me and to be able to capture is amazing. I learn from each image, I ask myself; how can I make it better.

Time

This was around 9pm I could see the storm coming, I set up and wait, a lot of patience is required.

Lighting

There is a few techniques for capturing lightening. Patience is all important.

Equipment

Canon 6D, 24 70 2.8 USM, Manfrotto 055 and a intervalmeter

Inspiration

my life long fascination of storms.

Editing

no

In my camera bag

Vanguard Case contains, Canon 60D, Canon 6D, 100 400 L series, 24 70 L 2.8, Sigma 10 20 3.5, 430 ex speed light and light meter Kit bag has all my ND filters, shutter release, speed light triggers, manuals, cables, lens pens and spare lenses.

Feedback

Study where the area where the lightening is striking the most, no rain between you and the lightening, strong steady tripod and either a remote trigger or cord will do. Set the camera to B, around 10 12" exposures should give you a good strike rate.
