@MikeHall Out of interest, how do you actually go about doing this? Timer aperture exposure every x seconds or minutes, or are you manually setting off the shutter when you see a flurry of activity?
@iplaw67 I simply shoot long exposures, around 20 seconds with this set. I keep the camera on a secure mount to keep the landscape locked in frame. I simply set my camera's intervalometer to shoot continuously. When I got home, I picked out the best 16 exposures and combined them in Photoshop.
@MikeHall Tremendous image of the Armageddon, for sure! I had no idea photographers would stack multiple exposures for weather photography. This lightning is terrifyingly beautiful.
@cobalt I don't stack images very often. Many times, I have to move the camera as the storm moves. 99% of my lightning photos are just a single exposure like this one...an 8 second exposure if I remember correctly.
@MikeHall Being in Arizona and a photographer, I regularly see spectacular skyscapes. There are some famous storm chasers here and the lightning or haboob images are stunning. You are very accomplished and have a great sense of composition.
Cool pic. If you could, it would be useful information if you noted the location, the direction of view, some timestamp, and direction of storm movement if any.
