I am pretty much on the same page as Ambient with the way I take them as well.

The real important thing is to make sure you have a trigger whether it is cable or auto. If you have to manually press the camera to get a shot you will get noise or vibration through the camera and onto the shot. It is almost the most vital part of a good shot.

Some shots I have taken, I have had the lense open for 90+ seconds which is not good as it can burn the sensor out and that costs a fair bit to replace. Sometimes you can end up taking 50 to 100shots just to get the right one depending on the storm. If you have a rapid fire storm you chances are better.

Another important point is moisture from the storm. Sometimes the wind will blow rain onto your equipment and once again, prolonged exposure will ruin the camera.



Not sure in the quality as I am ising my phone to upload and it is not the direct link.
