Location
I shot this photo at Clearwater Beach, in Clearwater, FL. I had my camera on a tripod in the water performing a long exposure.Time
The time of day shot was taken was 8:00 PMLighting
This is natural lightning that I captured.Equipment
Canon 6D, CZ 50 mm, tripod 80 seconds exposure, no flash blub mode, ND filterInspiration
This was taken during the rainy season and this was something I was hoping to capture.Editing
None to my recollection.In my camera bag
I carry my Canon 6D, and CZ 35-70 3.4, 85 L II, CZ 50, 70-300LFeedback
Blub mode is the ideal shooting for this - long exposure and if you have a ND filter that will help as well. The ND filter will help you stay shooting till the lightning starts. Once the lightning has finished then let go of the shutter button. I used my iPhone app for remote triggering to reduce shake and to not have to hold the shutter button down on the camera.
