We've had some T-storms recently, but the sky has been socked in and so it's only like a big flash diffused by a curtain, not very photogenic

thank you...
Originally posted by kwb Beautiful! How did you capture these? I read in your Flickr comment that you didn't use a trigger. I've tried "long exposure and shoot and wait" technique in the past with limited success, but you only used 1/15 to 1/25 sec. Does a lightning strike with earth-shuttering sound every time you press the shutter button?
thank you....
that is correct - these are all hand-held, without the benefit of a trigger...
while I was out shooting the sunset, I noticed that the thunderstorm was continuing to produce lightning in the southeastern sky...
so I turned on the high-speed continuous shooting on the K-3, set up aperture/ISO for a decently-lit shot and waited for the next burst of lightning....
needless to say, I missed some shots, and also had multiple shots that I did not use/process, but I came back with a handful of decent images...
