Greetings, fellow sentient beings!
A few days ago, it feels like a whole week and it might be almost so, I published a photo of a lightning bolt that I took during last storm.
I'm coming in with another one from the same series, and I want to emphasize the fact that...it's often the best bolts that get away. They simply would not be captured on record. There was a time when I wrote about taking the maximum out of a storm, shooting with two or more cameras, two or more tripods...
This time I didn't have any tripod around! I shot from the lid of a hand-held box. With a mirrorless camera. Well, circumstances.
The lightning bolts, though...they were kind of distant and the storm was kind of persistent. From my far-away point of view they seemed as if they fell at the same spot.
Same spotlight, if you ask me. With them being the spotlights themselves, though.
So, this shall look pretty similar to my previous one...
Camera Settings:
Aperture F 8; Shutter Speed 5 seconds on a Bulb mode; Light Sensitivity ISO 100; Focal Length 23 mm.
Camera Model:
Sony Alpha 6000 wit ha 16 - 50 mm kit lens.
Some blur effects applied to the foreground, again.
So, as you can see, if you are ever to open and compare both images, this one and my previous one, you might notice I use Bulb mode but the shutter speed, A.K.A. Exposure Time is different. That's what Bulb mode does. It opens the shutters until you hold the button. It might be a fraction of a second or many seconds, more than the regular 30 seconds maximum, even.
I did not have to wait long in this case.
Cheers and happy photos to you all!
Yours,
Manol
