First Images with “Lightning Trigger”

Filed under: Photography,Storm Chasing — Mike U @ 1:01 pm

Early morning at like 6:30am on July 11th near Ransom, KS… but there was enough ambient light to consider these "daytime" shots. The first test with the Lightning Trigger device on my Nikon D200 was a very successful one.

Both of these images were shot at 27mm, F/7.1 @ 2.5 seconds, ISO 100 with the shutter electronically triggered by the lightning flash:

  1. Great shots. I have heard of the lightning trigger but this is the first time I’ve seen images. I might buy one.

  2. Brilliant CG shots there. I’m interested in obtaining one of those devices for my EOS350 Canon and am pleased you got great results. It’s paid for itself already!

    Good stuff.

  3. Well, first of all greetings from Italy.
    I was just spending some time on the internet and found this pages. What a great job! Pictures are awesome, I love this kind of images. Big western skies have always interested my fantasy since I was a child, you give me and I’m sure many other people a great chance to see and almost touch places where we probably will never go.
    Thanks again, and have a nice week!
