A picture named Image-06-20-00001.jpgLightning Photography: How to photograph:

  1. setup the tripod;
  2. load camera with film if necessary;
  3. mount the right camera lens;
  4. mount the camera landscape-style on the tripod;
  5. mount the cable release on the camera;
  6. load the next photo;
  7. remove lens cap;
  8. set focus to infinity;
  9. set shutter speed to 'B' (bulb setting - manual mode);
  10. set aperture according to the lens and the film. For a 100-ASA film and a wide-angle lens use f-stop 4.0, or by distant lightning set t fully open;
  11. point the camera in the direction where most lightning bolts occur;
  12. now press the cable release and keep it pressed. If it's lockable, lock it while it's pressed, otherwise hold it in by hand;
  13. stand or sit behind the tripod, so your view and the camera's view are identical;
  14. if a bolt occurs within the view of the camera, release the shutter, load the next photo, press the cable release again, etc.

Or you can just do what I did:

  1. Hear thunder;
  2. Grab your digicam;
  3. Take one incredibly lucky snapshot from your hotel room window.
