Be careful if you do that in Australia (at least Queensland), you are only legally allowed to have fairly weak ones, and even if you have a legal one, you will still get hassled because of fuckwits pointing them at planes.

Shot this from a hotel balcony when I was on a short stay in Vancouver recently. Pentax 67 with 55mm f=4 and Ektar 100 for 30s at f=8, if I remember correctly. Scan-151009-0004 copy-1 by MadlabsRobot, on FlickrI didn't really notice the moon when I set it up but in the photo it looks like the loving sun.... Did not expect it to come out so strong. First ever for night time long exposure photography for me though, so I think it came out quite ok. VVV Fuuck, didn't even see that for some reason...

I like it, but you might want to stamp out that long horizontal blemish in the middle of the sky. I'm assuming that's just a scratch right?

Also to get some sense of how loving bright the sun is, consider this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetshine#Earthshine Just think about that.. the sun puts out enough energy for light to bounce off the earth, hit the moon, and bounce off the moon with enough energy that you can still see a new moon with the naked eye.

Well I knew the moon would come out bright, just not that bright. Live and learn I guess.

The red one is on the left wing and the green one is on the right wing. If two planes approach each other, these lights help them know who has the right of way. (I know it's not a great photo, but I thought it was cool.)

These are long exposures of my quadcopter flying around my yard. The haze is from bringing my camera directly from air conditioned house to the very humid outdoors. I didn't even notice it until I got back inside, but it ended up looking kind of cool.  DSCN3654 by a a, on Flickr DSCN3664 by a a, on Flickr

This is rad. How do you get wonderful colors like that? Do you do much post-processing, or is this just a really dark place? I always end up with a yellowish tint to mine (Admittedly, my location has some light pollution):

I always end up with a yellowish tint to mine (Admittedly, my location has some light pollution): Thanks! Well it was a bit of dark place + pumping the blues and purples in processing. I was facing away from any light pollution too (which was the key). Plus it was on top of a mountain, on a dark night, in the middle of no where!

Portra 400 is the best but the HDR in Lightroom is actually pretty good.

How do you go about timing your shots for lightning, anyway? Do you just keep spraying and praying or do you just have to have a really fast trigger finger?

LogisticEarth posted:How do you go about timing your shots for lightning, anyway? Do you just keep spraying and praying or do you just have to have a really fast trigger finger? This is the first time I've done it but with this storm in particular, those lightning bursts were huge, and lasted for quite a long time/distance hopping clouds. I had plenty of warning because there would be flashing off to my left and then a few seconds later there'd be a burst like the one in the photo. I started with f3.5ish and 5 seconds and by the end was doing f/5.6 and 13 seconds. (both at iso 100, roughly the same exposure, ~-2 on my cameras meter) Basically, I'd see a small flash and hit the button and hoped the cell right above my head triggered too.  This is what the raw of the picture I posted looks like. This was 1 "strike", but when it happened it was more like this gif of the same storm I found on my cities reddit http://i.imgur.com/yLfrQVl.gifv In the gif, you can see the flashing where its striking in/above the clouds, I pressed my shutter whenever I saw it  This is what it looked like when the sky tricked me and nothing happened, same settings. The brief flash of the lightning is all you need. E: I just remembered, it's the exact same principal as light painting. It's definitely a bit of spray and pray and hope you get lucky though. underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Nov 23, 2015 |

Lightning basically requires long exposure.. 5-10 seconds and hope lightning strikes in that window somewhere. It's effectively impossible to wait for lightning to hit and press the trigger before it's gone. It's a lot of fun because you get a little thrill every time a bolt goes off when you have the shutter open. Maybe THIS is the one that looks awesome!  Bulb mode works too by leaving the shutter open until lightning hits but the value of this depends how much city glow you're dealing with.

Lightning shots are pretty simple long exposures where you point where the lightning is happening, and then take repeated long exposures, and then discard the boring ones. These were taken last night from Stafford, QLD, Aus. My front deck.     Canon 600D, EF17-40L @ ISO100, 17mm f4, 10" continuous Canon 550D, EF-S18-55 @ ISO100 21mm f4, 10" continuous. And a special, last saturday, the ISS passed in front of the moon, right over my friends house. Its that white blob.  Canon 550D, Rokinon 500mm Mirror MF, @ ISO 100, f8, 1/160" 2" delay I forgot to set my camera to Continuous after getting all set up and the ISS approached the moonface i hit the remote shutter and it counted down 2 seconds. my heart stopped and my gore rose, oh no. I've hosed it. Nope. exactly one frame. right on.

Some lightning is just one or two bolts for the entire 2-hour storm. Sometimes you get these gnarly super cells that roll through with a ton of turbulence and every 15-20 seconds all the static energy in the system gets released in those big long rolling crackles across a couple miles of sky at a time. Kind of like this, but in fast forward (disclaimer: don't do what this guy suggests, you will die) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuG1oNRQnyI Storms with 1-2 bolts over 2 hours, you'll never catch it, but when you get the right storm, it's easy to capture a few. Traveling SW along I-35 from Dallas to San Antonio we were skirting a massive, turbulent squall line for almost 5 hours, I was able to capture probably 20-30 good lightning photos using just my cell phone, doing what Saucy Bratwurst suggested.

I was hoping I'd find pics that weren't from directly underneath the storm last night. I'm like 90% sure i have a pic of the same bolt in the first photo.
