okay, there has to be a story behind your screen name. cough it up!
not really... LOL I needed a new user name since my original one was getting spammed too much... I just happened to be wearing those loose socks the flop off the end of your toes, and they were grey, so..... That;s it! LOL I have had it for over ten years now.
I've never captured lightning. Is there a trick to it?
Well, this particular day, I had seen a bit of lightning around then, and when the rainbow came out, I just set the camera on continuous mode, and kept shooting...
At night, I shoot at 10 second exposures... and often.
