Thanks Kim, Lightning Triggers. They help a lot when it is daytime and a lot of light available to fill the pixel wells, but at night it is not a problem. Shooting lightning at night is probably one of the easiest things to do with a DSLR. It is so dark, you just stick the camera on a tripod and open the shutter for 20 seconds at a time. If the bolt hits while it is open, you got your shot. That was about a 20 second exposure. Cheers, David On 8/15/2011 10:12 AM, Kim wrote:
Great pic. Do you use a device that trips your shutter when lightning strikes? (Don't know what they're called.)

Shot this one last night as the last thunderstorm of the evening blew past.
