3. First Safety
Your first concern while photographing lightning should always be safety. Never shoot from top of hills, in broad fields, or close to tall objects. If a storm is approaching, keep inside a car or structure. Stay far from the storm; lightning can strike many miles away from the rain zone. Your safety depends on knowing the 30/30 rule: seek cover right away if the interval between seeing lightning and hearing thunder is less than 30 seconds. Arm yourself with the understanding of neighbourhood emergency protocols and create a strategy. Always let someone know where you are going and when you should return from a shoot. Remember, no picture is worth losing your life; so, always put your safety first above acquiring the ideal picture. Additionally lowering your chances are wearing rubber-soled shoes and avoiding metal objects. These steps will help you to make sure that your lightning photography sessions are exciting and safe, so enabling you to concentrate on catching the amazing shows of nature free from needless risk.
