Capturing Lightning We love storm season for the amazing photographic opportunities. We’ve talked in brief about capturing spectacular storm photos, but in this blog we’re going to give you a quick guide on how to capture lightning! The most important thing we can emphasize here is safety. Pay close attention to how far the lightning is from your location, and always practice safe photography – stay away from the sides of roads where cars and trucks are racing by, and keep a close eye on weather warnings for extreme events like tornadoes. Stay safe – no photo is worth a trip to the hospital (or morgue). To capture a great lightning shot you have to be sure that you’ve set up your composition properly. This means setting yourself up close enough to capture clear lightning shots, but far enough away to capture the overall storm image (if this is what you’re going for). Think carefully about where you are going to take your photo from, and how. The how involves thinking about the best lens for the job – if you’re a good distance away maybe try a zoom lens, if you’re nice and close maybe try a 50mm or even a wide angle. Try snapping a few test shots before you get everything set up below. Also don’t forget about your principles of composition – try adding a subject in for scale, maybe some foreground interest, or think about the shape of your landscape.
