I knew at the beginning of this assignment that I wanted to shoot lightning. However, I had too problems. One, I needed to wait for a lightning storm. Two, I found myself in Baltimore this week. Luckily, the sky lighted up for me on the way home. I ran in and grabbed my camera. I set the camera to shoot in the "fireworks" mode. I set the camera up on a steady base and began to take pictures of the night sky. I took twenty-one shots before I reviewed the pictures. I actually got the shot on the fourth try, but you never know when taking "lightning" pictures. I knew I needed a low shutter and high apeture setting to get the shot. I figured the "fireworks" mode was the best option.
I really liked this assignment. I have always liked night shooting and lightning. Lightning in Sierra Vista is spectacular, but lightning in general is pretty awesome. I really liked this assignment.
