I have a cable release/ timer that allows me to dial in any exposure length I want and usually I'm trying to avoid problems with light pollution that appear with terribly long exposures.. not to mention noise issues with digital or movement of foreground elements like leaves and branches or whatever. The biggest trick with lightning is choosing the right aperture. It kinda sets its own exposure. If it's really bright and close f5.6-ish is usually a good place to start. Then once you find a nice aperture for your shots you can play around trying to expose the foreground and stuff with the length of the exposure. If memory serves I think the longest exposure I posted above was 4 minutes.. the one with the rocks and the lake behind "know". Luck is a factor. So is wind and rain, and safety. I often shoot out of my car with a window rolled down and towels everywhere. I have a raincoat for my cam and a big, heavy ashwood tripod that doesn't get all funky from getting water everywhere. :) I'm lovin this topic. It's a soft spot if you haven't guessed. ;) Great stuff from everybody! Oh, please don't pick me to choose the next one. I'm going to be going on a trip and won't be around while I'm gone.. just happy to play. :) Loading...
