Nice pics micah. Too bad buffalo doesn’t get many of these storms…

I used Bulb setting, F8, remote, tripod, no flash, ISO 100. Wide angle lens, in my case a 18mm. Hit the shutter, wait, wait wait as soon as it strikes, give it like 10 seconds, and hit the shutter again. Usually they are around 40-80 second exposures…

> wimp ![images/smilies/tongue.gif]() shoulda been outside taking pics instead ![images/smilies/smile.gif]()

I was out in the field 20 feet from a tree taking most of those pics. I got drenched, but it was worth it!
