Lightening

Lightening at the beach; for me only one word can describe it. Amazing. I love the way the light flashes onto the water. As Amy Renfrey says it is a real challenge to catch something that moves as fast as lightenining.
The fact is that lightning photos are both very challenging to capture and very engaging to viewers. A real challenge in photography is capturing fast moving subjects. When it comes to either traditional or digital photography, catching electrifying fork lightning is just too much of a enticement to see if we can “win” the challenge.
 The first thing Amy says to do is make sure your shutter is open, in the country side you can leave it open for up to sixty seconds. However, in the city you can not leave it open for as long. You need to find a good place to set up, somewhere you know lightening will be and make sure you have your camera, tripod, and shutter release cable.

Amy also says, DO NOT jeopardize your safety for a shot. It just isn't worth it. As beautiful as it may be, your life is better. Lightening photos come fast, and they're hard to capture. It's possible if you do it at exactly the right time, just be safe and don't give up fast.
