Cracking Shot Paul!!
I love storms as much as my 20D Baby lol. That's how much. You must tell me more about these photo comp's. I've never entered one yet, do you think I stand a chance with my photos?
Thx for your comments by the way.

That is a most unusual lightning shot - you've got both the fork and the sheet light in the cloud. Amazing!

Hi Paul.
This is a great shot. Its amazing how much dynamics are added by the lightning bolt.
Well done.
Regards,
George.

Impressive capture,Paul!...dynamic force of nature...am equally impressed with the technical know-how you explain in a reply...if i ever get a shot of lightning,it will probably be by accident while shooting a peace banner! ;> love the illumination of the clouds...good work,my friend!

Thanks, Tom.
It's easier than you'd think. The hard part is being lucky enough to have clear sky between you and the lightning discharges. Once that's resolved, it's just a matter of tripod bulb setting, and cable release. I focus on infinity, zoom to where it might work out well, then on a low setting (ISO 100 or 200) open the shutter...and wait. As soon as there's a bolt, I close the shutter, and immediately open it again for the next exposure.

I have figured out how to MAKE a '7' rate at what it should be.
e-mail me and I'll explain my theory. ;)
