Bay Bridge Lightning Strike!

    Newer Older

    This shot has been on my list since moving to San Francisco. Unfortunately, I've only seen lightning 3 times in the 2 years I've lived here. Tonight, I got lightning in 3 seperate 20 second exposures. This is a single exposure.

    I shot this from my office window because I was too chicken to get my new camera wet (or worse).

      amazing. how did you keep the the lightning from over exposing the photo on a 20 second shot? ND filter?

      When there weren't strikes, it was dark. I shot at ISO 100 and f/10.
