Lightning Over Wichita Falls
A Texas thunderstorm had developed one afternoon and was throwing out a large amount of lightning. So, I grabbed my camera and headed outside. Standing under the carport, I was able to stay dry and get the shots. I shot in jpeg instead of RAW to get as many shots as I could fire off in a short period of time. I basically pointed the camera in the direction that had the most lightning and pushed down on the shutter and kept firing until I would catch a bolt. I fired off several hundred shots and got several keepers that day.
Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (350D)
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm @22mm
Exposure: 1/30 Sec @ f/14 ISO 100
