Lightning Show
Posted By: heliphoto, 07-28-2008, 09:38 PM

Here are some more shots from last night's show. All were taken with the K200D with the Sigma 24mm f/2.8 "Super-Wide" @ f/3.2, bulb exposure locked open with a cheap (but awesome) hong kong cable release.





This is a crop from the one I posted last night...

Interestingly, the camera set the automatic color temperature to 3700 for this one vs. 4950 for the others. I don't know why, but I like the look it imparts and I'm torn over which temp looks better. Maybe I'll meet in the middle somewhere.

All of them are nice, but the bridge and the last one stand out for me. Thanks for posting these.

Thanks. I think having some context in the frame is what helps these two shots stand out rather that the somewhat more abstract "lightning and clouds" shots.
