    Stormy Weather

    A nod to Lena Horne.

    F8, ISO 100, 70mm, Aperture priority. Shutter speed range 2 S to 25 S.

    Please don't worry. I was under cover shooting out, so was not out in the open with lightning.

    A wonderful set of images.

    But that last in the set just blows me away. You've got a great exposure for the land and the village/town, on top of which you have superb lightning in the image.

    I can't see any EXIF data so don't know what your settings were, but I am fill of admiration for a really high quality bit of photography.

    +1 to what Donald has written, Marie.

    You have a wonderful set of images. I particularly like the clouds rolling over the hills in the first image. The details and textures are wonderful.

    Hi, Donald. I listed my settings in my post. I hope that helps? The best part of this storm was that it came through at dusk, so there was some ambient light. Then, this was the first time I used Aperture priority as opposed to Manual.

    Forgot to add that I prefocused on the far hills, then set to Manual.

    Thanks Manfred. I was awestruck watching the downburst from across the river. It was incredibly powerful.

    Mentioning Lena Horne gets a +1 right out of the gate.

    But #3 is print worthy. Nice shot!

    This set deserves a 'Wow'! I am particularly taken by that first image Marie. That is a great narrative.

    Nice series Marie.
    I've never have the opportunity to shot such experience, you make me eager to do so.

    I cannot add to what has been said but the last Image is one of the best lightning shots I have ever seen.
    One more reason I am looking forward to moving to the Midwest.
