Just a tiny sample of pics and some commentary on settings. This page could be endless really! So many variables.

Model : NIKON D70 ExposureTime : 12.20Sec FNumber : F6.3 FocalLength : 18.00(mm)Taken from the front seat of the car to avoid heavy rain. A good example of why taking cover to keep shooting can yeild good results. |

Model : NIKON D70 ExposureTime : 67.00Sec FNumber : F6.3 FocalLength : 300.00(mm)A good reason to have more than one lens on hand! This storm was extremely active but a long distance away. My viewpoint was high which allowed me to put on the 300mm lens and capture some great bolts. |
 |
Model : NIKON D70 ExposureTime : 44.00Sec FNumber : F5.0 FocalLength : 220.00(mm)This was an extremely active display and I let exposure run out for a while to fill the frame. Despite being spectacular its almost too much. Again shot at high focal lengths. |

Model : NIKON D70 ExposureTime : 114.00Sec FNumber : F6.3 FocalLength : 48.00(mm)Rain wrapped bolts can be a real problem as can be seen in this image. When it looks like this it may be time to try upping the aperture. Small increments to find the balance. |

Model : NIKON D70 Sometimes the whole scene is as good as the bolt itself. In this case a bright moon backlights a small cell as it fires earthwards |
