the lightning works like the traffic shots of the light trails going past, because it is an intense bright peice of light the camera will pic it up while the shutter is open | |

in low light at night the camera can use what little light is availible, when light levels are low a longer shutter speed is needed to take all the light in so the subject is exposed correctly | |

ah fair enough, so how does the 30sec exposure work then, as everything i've read about is in tiny fractions of time, nothing that long | |

During a lightening storm I would set up the tripod and put the shutter in bulb mode and leave it for 15-20mins. :thumbs: | |
