Fuji X-Pro1

We had a very ambitious storm last night, and where there’s a storm, there’s often lightning. Nasim has a detailed article written on “How to Photograph Lightning”, so if you hear there’s a storm coming in your area and you want to grab some amazing shots of it, Nasim’s extensive article will help you be prepared from the start.

For nighttime lightning, the X Pro 1 will work great.  You simply put it on a tripod with a remote shutter release, set the camera on a 30s or bulb exposure and shoot into the storm.  When you have captured a strike while the shutter is open in bulb you then release it.  If you are set at a 30s exposure you wait till it is finished.
