Wow amazing lightning capture! Was this one exposure?
Posted 16 months ago. ( permalink )

Philip: Yes it was one exposure. I found that given the limited manual options on my Exilim the best strategy was to set the shutter speed to 10 seconds and point it in the direction of the storm. And then take lots and lots of pictures. Several of the other shots that came out well are in my feed.
