redshifted

Thank again Bob and nice pic, I did some research on lightning strike injuries/fatalities and it seems that ground current effects (like your description and my experience) are the most likely to ...

Nice pic but there's some nasty banding in the shot between the left of center lightning channels and the center channels. Was this ES or MS?

Nice grab, You won't have all the artifacts at 100% with a bigger sensor - but you do have to carry it lol.

Thanks Paulo!

Thanks!

Nice pic. I often use the Delay timer and CL mode to get four variation pics when shooting long exposure stuff (like waterfalls). The flow can look very different moment-to-moment. I just stick ...

Ka-Boom!!! I've had a few close calls myself. The scariest was when I was shooting lightning from a concrete parking structure downtown as a s storm was moving in over the skyline. I was a story ...

I used MS specifically to avoid ES rolling shutter and have the ISO 80 option for daylight lightning exposure times.

ISO L setting (giving ISO 80 using mechanical shutter) was used to extend the shutter open time on my X-T3 one stop over base ISO 160.

Thanks, These were individual pics taken using CL drive mode and a twitchy trigger finger to catch lightning return strikes. Exposures from top down are 1/12, 1/9 and 1/10s at f22 and ISO 80 per EXIF.

Thanks everyone that replied for the kind comments and everyone else for viewing the pics! Ed
