Hi,
As we have a severe storm warning for Sat day/night i want to be one of those that hang out of the bedroom window getting excellent shots of the lightening
So suggestions please as to what setting to use.
D7000 50mm f1.8
Ta....
It really is as simple as this.
Use settings that give you the absolute longest shutter speed you can for the correct exposure... so lowest ISO.... smallest aperture... and then select the speed to give correct EV. Tripod... cable release... take the shot... then hope you get a strike in the frame. If not, as soon as the shutter closes, open it again... rinse and repeat until you get a strike in frame.
It really is as simple as that... technically that is. However... a shot just taken from your bathroom window will be crap.. unless your bathroom overlooks something to make a suitable backdrop, otherwise it's just a technical exercise.
Any recommendations for a decent UK rain radar app? And for 3. I'll use a van with a side loading door or nice big tail gate to keep the kit dry.
- Install a Rain radar App on your smartphone.
- Rush out to your favourite hill, viewpoint, when the storm is closing in.
- Tripod, raincoat, camera covering, lens wiper, all at the ready.
don't stand on a high point clutching a large pointy metal object (like a tripod) ... sounds flippant but there's a serious point there too
