Night Lightning

Lightning · 07:18 PM

I set up my full spectrum K-01 with the 40xs on it to try to get some lightning pics tonight since it will fit on my windowsill, while the K5 will not. Here's some of the shots.

Thank you! Those were my favorite three, though I got 7 pics with the lightning actually visible.

Thank you! I would like to set up a triggering mechanism to get lightning and do much better.

great captures, #1 is great with lightning going all the way to ground, enjoyed them all.

Exceptionally good shots, very clear.

Thank you! I was quite surprised that I got that one. I wish I would have had it all set before the storm reached me because I would have gotten much better shots.

Thanks. I was surprised that they turned out as well as they did, especially after my cat decided to investigate that thing making noise.

That is so hard to do and you did such a fantastic job. TFS.
