1. Knowledge of Lightning
Effective catching of lightning depends on an awareness of its nature. A sudden electrical discharge during a storm, lightning produces a brilliant flash of light. Understanding the several forms of lightning—cloud-to- ground and intra-cloud—helps you to predict where and when to get the greatest pictures. Additionally raising your chances of success is learning about storm motions and weather trends. Plan your photographic trips using forecasts and weather apps to guarantee you are in the correct location at the correct moment. Knowing the science underlying lightning can also help you better time it and forecast its behaviour. Talk to local weather stations or internet forums to learn from other photographers that focus in storm and lightning photography. Understanding the basic traits and behaviours of lightning will help you to be more ready for precisely and artistically catching these brief events.
