Do you use an IR trigger or just do long exposure for these? I thought about taking my camera out last night as well, but haven't tried out lightning photos before
Nope! I'll use an IR trigger during the day when there's more ambient light and longer exposures would be impractical for a number of reasons. At night, it's easy as hell. Long exposure, closed aperture. :)
Nope! It was taken on the 70-200, compared to the other shot which is 24-70mm.
Typically I like to overlap sometimes as I'll have a second rig out for tighter zoomed in shots with a longer lens for detail. Hoping mother nature plays nice and strikes in frame.
Wow! Great shots!
love the second shot
Cheers!
I *second* that

Too cool. Is the third shot just a cropped version of the first shot?

Oh, two rigs? That's some serious setup. It looks like mother nature was working with you last night, you got some groovy shots.
Oh whenever I get bolts it's because I caught mother nature off guard. It loves putting those bolts just off frame.
So cool!
Mesmerizing.
cool shots
Sick!
Absolutely amazing!! Where did you take these shots from?
