5. Perfecting camera settings
Effective capture of lightning depends on your camera settings being mastered. Change your exposure settings entirely under manual mode. To reduce noise, set your ISO low—about 100 or 200. Between f/8 and f/16, apertures are advised to guarantee a sharp image with appropriate depth of field. Since it controls the path of the lightning that will be caught, changing your shutter speed is absolutely vital. Starting with a shutter speed of several seconds, change depending on lightning frequency and brightness. Another useful approach is bulb mode, which lets you manually open and close the shutter as required. Changing the settings will enable you to discover the ideal balance for your particular circumstances. Knowing how to control these parameters helps you to catch the whole brilliance of a lightning storm and adjust to shifting illumination circumstances.
