Description
So this was the storm we had the other day. I only just downloaded it last night with a bunch of other stuff, then never got around to editing it.It's not super good, but its the best I could do. I was standing out there for a good 2 hours trying to get thins... everything that could go wrong did. Wrong lenses, couldn't find me cable release, no lightning for 15 mins, started to rain, couldn't find an umbrella, couldn't open the umbrella, found out that digital doesn't do well over a thirty second exposer(it gets big noise issues), had to deal with trying to click right on time, there was fork lighting at the same time as sheet, so i kept getting majorly blown out shots, lighting started happening in random places were i wasn't pointing the camera, street lights, houses and trees in the way... the list goes on.
But I'm happy with what I got.

I'm still after my lightening shot! To be honest I think that little but of noise adds atmosphere to the photo.

I think films is easyer, cas you can give it like 60 second or more of exposer without get loads of noise.
