Lightning in Colorado

If you were in the greater metro Denver this week, you may hay heard or even felt rumbles all to close to home.


Check out this awesome shot, taken near Parker, Colorado. This Nikon D3100 exposure was 25" at f 3.5 with an iso of 100 with a Nikkor 18mm Lens. Ok so I'll admit that the settings were off which could have possibly reduced the noise, but overall I think it looks pretty good. Only seconds before that I could actually see a bolt in the lens, although the shudder would not release. When switched to manual focus a balance between precious time and making sure you have a sharp image are weighed. Then across the sky...

Right after I pulled the trigger!

It's almost hard to tell if this is out of focus or not...This might as well be a first time user guide with the Nikon D3100. A 'what not to do' in this case.
