As I have stated numerous times in the past few days I just picked up a Nikon D40 and have been using it a lot. I love this camera. Well Sunday night a thunderstorm was coming through so I quickly grabbed my camera and my tripod and set up.
I just set the camera on bulb and pointed it at one section of the sky and held the shutter. After about 40 minutes and sitting there I only ended up with one shot of lightning.
I know all the houses and street lights take away from the lightning but I didnt want to drive out of town cause I just waxed the mustang.
This is my first attempt and since I live in Texas I will have plenty more opportunities for more.
What do u think. Anybody else have pics they have taken?
