cfreemanphotography 0 Posted August 9, 2008 Taken on the last day of a 2 week trek in New Mexico, this is my first ever shot of a lightning strike. Because I did not have a tripod at my disposal, I had to handhold and release the shutter when I saw a strike. Can you say lightning fast reflexes? :P RATERS PLEASE NOTE: I have no problem with low ratings IF you support it. Giving a photo a 3 and not giving an explanation will not help me grow as a photographer. If you are unable or unwilling to support your ratings, please abstain from doing so. Link to comment
jtipton 0 Posted August 10, 2008 I don't think I could get a lightening strike this clear with a tripod and a timed exposure. Excellent work. You must be part cat. Link to comment
cfreemanphotography 0 Posted August 10, 2008 ..... actually have no clue how the hell I did it. The exposure was at 1/25th of a second and, naturally, I ended up sort of jabbing the release. Even with VR, I was surprised. This would be a fun location to return to with a full array of gear.Thanks for commenting!Chris Link to comment
