Beautiful Lightning

: Beautiful Lightning; A nice storm was going by with beautiful lightning hitting the mountains as it passed through. It was perfect weather with not a drop of rain falling on me. I really enjoy lightning and getting photos of it. I know it's dangerous but I just can't help myself.; Equipment:

Thanks so much Karen, Carol, Beverly, Jas, Alex, and Lorraine for looking at my photo and leaving your wonderful comments. Hey Karen you take the photos the same with a digital. Set your focus to manual and at infinity, ISO 100 or 200, then set your shutter speed from 4 seconds to even 10 seconds, I let the camera pick the aperture. Then keep taking photos until you luck out and the lightning goes off when the shutter is open.

A beautiful capture, most of our lighting comes here with heavy down pours.

Great shot of the lightning Alan! You are lucky to have a nice clear view, without obstructions. I like the way it seems to 'cut' through the cloud to finally find the earth.

Beautiful image Alan. That is something I don't get to see or photo living here in the mountains.

I still haven't figured out how to capture lightning with a digital camera. I knew how with my slr cameras. This is a gorgeous display.
