Having a Little Fun!
This is a creation of mine, merging 4 different 4 second exposures taken from a tripod to "paint" the scene with lightning strikes.
Some, I'm sure, call this "cheating" but I don't care. It was a fun project and I figure as long as I am up front about what it is...people can either take it or leave it.
In the future, I'd love to get the opportunity to get this much lightning in a single opening of the shutter, though!
Oh, details...
Multiple Lightning strikes during a steady rain as another weather cell passes through the Midwest. This is looking South on the UP Springfield Sub at a location known as Wann in East Alton, IL as dusk rolls in on June 25, 2015.
Image is a composite of 4 exposures taken: 7:14:30pm, 7:16:12pm, 7:19:48pm, 7:19:59pm according to the timestamp on my camera, which is not set to the millisecond based on an atomic or satellite clock. But, this gives a good ballpark of time as well as the timespan between the images.
