Let me know what you think.

looks cool, did you just wait for a strike and hit the shutter? basically good reaction times. lol

lol nope 3-7 second shutter speed lol. That would be epic reaction time lol

damn see wat happens when u get to many days off from work dont know wat to do with ur self lol

hey theres much worse(or better) things i couldve been taking pics of lmao the last pic IMO is epic

cool pics but I feel like they would be much better if you went somewhere else to watch the storm/get pics like a field or something. The last one is sweet

i agree man but its all i could work with last night lol

Oh ok that makes sense! Slowly but surely i am learning this awesome art form. thanks for the tip!

same way i got teh blurred traffic look behind some of the pics of my sti, full manual and you have to adjust the iso and aperture till you can get enough light in and not over expose it. The longer you hold the shutter speed the brighter your pictures will come out. Also if you camera has auto focus youll prolly have to turn it off or the camera will constantly try to focus. Not a expert on this at all but its what i figured out so far lol and btw you will need a tripod. I took 256 pics last night and kept those 5....its all about timing as well with lightening as you could imagine lol

i have a tripod and such, i've been wanting to do this kind of shooting for awhile but am at school without my tripod : (

take some at the end of the semester

im actually heading home today and ill grab my dads old tripod that ive been using.

you camera may have an option for continuous focusing. i know mine does, i would think this may be a normal feature o_0

It constantly tries to focus and i had to turn it off in order to actually take a pic because it would be continuously focusing, but i am new to my camera and might not know some things.

true, my camera has a hardtime too at times lol
