We got up on Rhys' roof the other night but I think we missed most of the awesome lightning. Except for this bolt! :)

Thanks! ^_^ Such a lucky shot. The ONLY shot out of quite a few. Next time I must remember to have more patience, hehe :)

did you keep the shutter open and press the switch to close it after you saw the lightning? i just got my first dSLR not long ago and i've been reading up on various techniques to get the shot.

anywho, lively shot! the colors are incredibly intense

Yep, I set it to BULB, ISO 100 and f4.0, pressed the button and waited :) That was the hardest part!

I do have a wireless remote shutter and used that. If I didn't though, I'd probably put it on timer so that I could press the button and step away from the camera to prevent any camera shake. Haven't tried it tho, but it's worth a shot before you go buying remote shutters! :)
