SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry #2 - Lightning
What's more perfect for long exposure than a lightning storm?
This is my second entry into this week's SPC. I almost thought all I could share was running water, but that's not so! Lightning photography is all about long exposure!
This was taken with my Canon EOS 500D on a tripod, out of my old bedroom window.
I've got one more coming up (also lightning). The last one is a bit simpler, but I think I might like it more than this one for its simplicity.
Hope you like it!

What a beautiful Shot ;)
Thank you @chrissysworld! I'm so happy to hear you like it :-)
YOU ARE MOST WELCOME, MY DEAR :)
Lightening is fun to watch .. great to freeze the action.. great job
It is fun to watch! It became even more fun once I learned how to photograph it :-)
Thank you so much!
I have yet to capture good lightning photos, its on my list though.
It's exciting stuff and should be no problem at all for you and your night photography skills! Just point the camera at a lightning storm instead and go for 15-60 seconds, depending very much on how much activity is in the air. I just go by feeling, but I'm sure there are more professional ways of going about it :-)
I was just reading about a device that activates the camera when it detects lightning. I have done the long exposure method and I just was not close enough. I need to find a good vantage point the next time a storm comes.
Ooh that's interesting! I wonder how well it works, as it all happens so fast.
Yeah, my best days of shooting lightning were when I was still living with my mum and I had an upstairs window overlooking a farmer's field. It gave me plenty of free space to aim the camera at.
Ofcourse, even so, still only one out of ~20/30 pictures held anything interesting.
Wow amazing capture
it is very hard to take a photo of lighting
you have done a great job @playfulfoodie
Thanks
keep steeming
Cheers !
Thank you very much @dinsha :-)
Wicked shot!
Aww thank you so much! :-)
Gambar yang sangat bagus kawan
I'm sorry, I don't know what you said there... However, thank you for resteeming :-)
Google translate says he said "A very nice picture of a friend"
Aah how could I forget google translate! Thanks for the translation :D
Wow, you must have waited for hours and being very lucky to get it right! Great photo!
Thank you so much! Hmm, I just grabbed my gear once the thunder started and hoped for the best! Lightning photography means long exposures, meaning your camera's gathering all the light it sees for seconds (in this case, around 30, less if there's a lot lightning action going on). It's a waiting game and hoping you pointed your camera in the right direction :-)
