Description
We are into the monsoon season here in Arizona, so I am trying to get some lightening with my Canon Powershot 530. On this the shutter was open for fifteen seconds. I took hundreds of shots on the chance that some of them would capture lightening.

Outstanding capture Ive spent I dont know how many hours trying to capture lighting on film like this and could never do it. Bravo!!!!
Fantastic capture!!
awesome shot... its nearly impossible to get this awesome shots... love it!!!
Nice capture! I've only caught lightning (a decent catch) once before....lots of fun trying but disappointing not getting a good shot, lol
Beautiful!
Thanks a lot for your good comments everyone. I am convinced the way to go is long exposure, although I have seen great pics done with motion detection. I am going to download a new operating system for my Canon camera and try to get longer exposures and smaller aperture settings because currently I cannot specify the aperture. The camera decides that.
xlt capture
Thanks.
Totally great lighting capture! WOW!
Thanks elfin14doaks.
good one Dan.....
Thanks Tom.
Man that is the hardest thing in the world to do capture lightning and you've done a brillant job !!!
Thanks. The secret is a small aperture and long exposure and a very cooperative storm.
I like the colors in this shot. Lots of good power here.
Thanks.
