Thanks glogo, I'm not fast enough to snap the shot when it happens. I use continuous shutter on my Panasonic, hold it down in the direction of most of the lightning and hope it happens. Very low rate of success though. I had a much better shot a few years ago that didn't have this noise, that's why I am looking at noise reduction programs
That is how I thought lightning shots were taken but when I read the exif information it just stated the shutter speed was 1/8th of a second, hence my confusion when but I get confused when someone gets taken short :)
There are lots of noise reduction programs, plug-in's and hopefully someone will be along to recommend one.
Do you always use that specific ISO or do you vary it? My thoughts are that cameras are all improving at an alarming pace and the detail of the lightning is spot on (in my amateur opinion) so is it also worth adjusting the ISO (If the camera can cope) Note this is a question from an enthusiast and NOT a statement :oops: :)
