This weeks storms saw me franticly trying to work out how to set up my digi
long exposure time to get some lightning shots.

Unsuccessfully I might add. Anyone on here any experience of using a digi to
photograph lightning ?

Any pointers?

When I was on holiday in Florida last year they had what many people called
the worst thunderstorms thay'd had for 10 years. I just set my digi cam
exposure time to maximum, left everything else on automatic and set it on a
mini tri-pod pointing out the doors to the swimming pool. This is the first
picture I got.
