Tips for shooting lightning. To get good lightning photos requires some patience and a bit of luck!
First you will need a sturdy tripod to support your camera and a cable release to lock the shutter open by setting the dial to bulb setting. Depending on how often between lightning strikes and the ambient light their is, I usually start out with a fairly wide aperture say 4 to 5.6 on the lens setting. When using a digital camera, you can check the exposures using the LCD screen on the camera to see if your over or under exposed. You will have to set the focus to manual because the auto focus will just want to hunt with a solid subject matter. use the infinity setting on your lens to set focus and frame your shot.
