OK Paul...thanks for the tips. I shall have dig my tripod out from where ever I hid it, thats if the storms do appear!

What if there is lightning but it's in the daylight? Would that be impossible to get a snap of?

Thanks Phil and Chris...I understand using the bulb setting, and I did wonder if it would take loads of shots. 

So, they are forecasting some pretty good storms to be around the UK over the coming weekend. Would it be possible for any of you proper photographers to give some advice as to how to get a picture of lightning?

In simple English please, remember it's me who does not understand the techie talk.

Would I need to find my tripod? 

HS50 or Canon? If it's the canon which lens?...I only have three, the 70-300, 50mm, and the 18-55. Should I use the cable release thing? 

Any help would be appreciated...

Crikey...........Your a star!

Well done Paul...

You have done a truly stunning job there...look at those eyes!

liking your style Falx.....

Annie, the canon white lenses are the L series they are manufactured with far higher quality materials to far tighter tolerances which results in lenses that give far better quality images if used correctly. Due to being so much higher quality they are also far higher priced some running into many thousands of pounds. Most L series lenses are white in colour although some are black with a red stripe around them.

Thank you RIchard...and written in language I can understand too. 

I admit I have been following the discussion, not to find out who is financially better of, but to find out what makes the Canon white lenses better....so far I have not! 

Hello Falx

Wonderful....dead chuffed for you. Lovely reading Jan, Val and Brenda's part in the mag too. 

Very clever, how on earth did you do it?

Hope they get this done ASAP Fuji, and that your poorly eye makes a full recovery. We will all miss you while you are out of action xxx

Well done you xxx

Oh yes, it truly was a fantastic set of pictures. 

Well done BP.....

Great choice Colin.

That jubbly pic has just set my teeth on edge.....!

Hello Heidi...

But that don't look freaky festcu...

Yep...point taken Chris.

Alien eye view....a very good description.

I just find it strange.

Ooooops, yes I meant WHITE....

I am puzzled by this Infra red photography. A friend has got into it and I am not understanding why you would want to turn the grass and trees green. What point am I missing?
