Sweet capture!! Love the color.... one day I'll get a lightning shot.... ;). Tips??
See all

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this in my back yard. I was watching an amazing lightning show there were at least 20 strikes a minute.

Time

Very late in the evening past sunset but with cloud cover it was dark.

Lighting

I would say the camera picked this up very nicely. It was dark and the lightning provided it's own light.

Equipment

This was taken with a nikon D3200 the settings were on auto. The lens was a sigma 500mm full auto zoom And it was handheld

Inspiration

There were so many lightning strikes I had to give it a try

Editing

No I litterly just uploaded the photo to my computer. The camera did all the work on this one

In my camera bag

That was a time when I was just begining so this camera is all I had. These pics are what inspired me to go get a Nikon 200 500mm lens eventually.

Feedback

Be very patient. This was a lot of shutter clicks before I got this photo.
