Re: Thunder

Well, that must have been an impressive thunderflash, but the picture is either out of focus or blurred through movement. Did you use a time exposure with the camera on a tripod?

I have focused into "iternaty" and used a remote shutter.. so the camera didnt move as far as I know, I didnt have a tripod, but the camera was static on a bag, on a table.

I also used Bulb mode, and closed the Shutter after the thunder Flashed.

A craker! I watched a program on telly a couple of years ago about a guy that specialised in lightning photography, it was amazing the lengths he would go to. Cant remember his name though, anybody help me out?

It would not take much to blur the shot, a very solid tripod recommended for long exposures, still a nice snap! Better than any lightning shot I have got.

Was the programme about Warren Faidley? He's well known for his weather and storm pictures. I used to have one of his calendars on the wall. Dunno what's happened to it now I come to think about it!

It's more than likely that the camera did slowly move a millimetre or two during the exposure, especially if it was propped up on something that wasn't solid, like a bag.

Worth having another go next time there is a big storm like that though!
