Greate shot, but please try again I think you can tack a photo beter than one.
Any way lights are the most important things in your shot.

Sam,
Thanks for the kind words. I shoot mostly free hand cause it always seems that I get caught out in the storms with out a tripod! I use the door of my truck to steady against most of the time and the rest is luck! I shoot at f2.8-f3.5 @ 2.5 seconds. I usually will shoot 100-200 shots of a storm and get 1 or 2 that I like! I shoot frame after frame for as long as it is safe to be there. I usually shoot a 2.5sec exposure frame after frame. If you take time to look at them you will most definatly miss the shot of a lifetime while chimping!
The best place to set up is on the south east side of a storm or the north west side. Your lightning will come from the back trailing edges of the storm or the leading edge if there is not to much rain in the storm to see it. I usually try and stay behind the storm on the SE side. If by some chance the storm spins out a tornado then you will be on the right side to see it! Most storms move to the NE so the SE keeps you out of the path of the storm and still alows for viewing and moving along with it. Oh and if your getting wet, your too close!
Hope that helps. Any more questions drop me an e-mail and I'll see if I can help you out!
Thanks again,
Jason

i think this is my favorite of the four its got like the most power in it and also i like the lights of the passing car it gives a little more color in the picture and also the lights from the car are also a sortof lightning in a way

Jason, I have been trying to get a shot like this.
I call it my Holy Grail Shot. I know Technically how to take it...The Question is Where did you set your Tri-pod up to get this FANTASTIC shot? Without it getting wet?
