One thing about living in Florida, you don't have to chase storms. They chase you. This is the view out my front door. The white square in the lower right corner of the picture is my neighbor's garage door.
Jon, thanks for the feedback. Lightning photography is a matter of timing. Set your camera on a tripod pointed in the direction of the most activity. Use "bulb" setting and a cable release. Time the lightning strikes from the most active cell, and when you think it's about right, depress the shutter and wait for a strike. If you are lucky enough to be in near total darkness (no street lights or house lights around) you can leave the shutter open for quite some time, as the film will only be exposed when the lightning flashes. I've gotten as many as 5 or 6 strikes on a single frame. If you stop down the shutter you can make exposures that last a couple of minutes or more. Also, I like to use a reasonably short focal length lens, so as to get some ground detail in the frame for size and distance reference. It's all trial and error, but a lot of fun.
I really liked this. I take it the process is pretty much one of uncap the lense, push in the shutter release cable and wait for a bolt in the right place? How did you decide on the aperture to use? Thanks for your kind comments re: my first shot at an in-camera multiple exposure. I will try your suggestion and re-post.
