not be saying anything new, but several people have been interested in capturing these rays, and For this reason, bear to tell you how I made these shots of the storm
First of all, it's very easy but it is no coincidence or not to shoot empeñeis you guessing when it is struck by lightning or shooting or shooting at random when mu fast start as they are the screwed up, and many complicao guess "walk" will fall (jejej, once the joke I tell you)
"The first is that the place where you do not get wet, is away from the storm and do not be a bad perpsectiva where rays fall, meaning that there are few things before distracting the scene unless they contribute to composition (sounds obvious but if it is not so complicated)
- Ideally diaphgram had been close to maximum (I think I use 22, do not remember the exif.) and put the camera on a tripod (I use sill my window) with the lowest possible ISOLA and manual opening with a trigger, leave open and close in a timely fashion.
- as I have no timer (to see if my cumload which is a few days I like the sky ...) I put the camera timer to 2 seconds and a time of 30 seconds of exposure (if I leave it open would have had to close the diaphragm in hand with the little button and it would hunchback previous work, lol)
- For this, focused at infinity , the focal length you choose it depending on the frame in which you want (as I left the camera in the window and could not look through the viewfinder I did was try taking pictures prior to determine the composition)
- Storms against it may seem not last too
in this case are two beams and a third point that I had the good fortune that in these 30 seconds to fall the two (almost 3)
- The tones do not have any treatment, just put some trees to cover too distracting objects and crop the photo, nothing more. The strength of the socket is only in the rays.
The secret is this: Long exposures very close to the diaphragm to prevent burning. In the balance is the secret. Greetings
