How to Shoot Lightning

50mm | 8s | f/9 | ISO 400

The inclement weather today got me thinking yet again about shooting lightning.  Alas, I didn't get a chance, but I was reminded of my desire to put together a tutorial on how to shoot lightning.  I figured while its fresh in my mind from thinking about it all day I would start writing it down.

According to Miguel, this is one of my "go-to" kind of shots, shooting into the sun.  Well he may be right, because my walk this evening with the intention of shooting macro quickly turned into Sunbursts.
