6. timing your shots
In lightning photography, timing defines everything. Lightning is erratic, hence you must be patient and ready to grab the instant it strikes. To raise your likelihood of catching a lightning bolt, use a long exposure approach. This entails adjusting your camera’s shutter speed to let the sensor record light over an extended length of time. This helps you to record several lightning bolts in one frame. Depending on the frequency and strength of the lightning, try varying exposure times—from a few seconds to several minutes. Additionally helps to automate the process by using a lightning trigger, thereby guaranteeing you not to miss a shot. Knowing the nature of the storm and having your gear ready ahead can help you to concentrate on catching the ideal moment.
