Thats just watching the lightning first and getting an idea where its at…then you set your shutter for 30sec or bulb and keep firing till you capture one. not really all that hard. Finding where to post up is harder then getting the lightning pics ---

> [@SleeperGTP](#): > > i have heard that b4,bullshit though. it does makes sense if you see it in a globe. they said that nonsense in Theory class. then there was another theory that has it as everyone sees it. its all in whats charged that day. the ground could be neg charged and sky positive. lightning also jumps from cloud to cloud but we dont see that that often…in the end theory sucks!! ---

umm, it’s science… “When the stepped leader (bolt from the cloud) gets within 150 feet of a positive charge, a streamer (surge of positive electricity) rises to meet it. The leader and the streamer make a channel.” lol at sonny’s lightning pics. ---
