Yesterday while working in Denver, a nice thunderstorm came over the city. So I began just shooting out the office window (10th floor) and hoping, to no sucess. Then, an idea occurred to me. Multi-shot on my Coolpix. So, I began shooting at the dark sky using the 16 shot continues setting. And...first try  (blown up) from this  . Not sure about other cameras, (i.e. the really goodies), but this maybe a fun trick for daytime lightning. Let me know what ya think. Van |

I find the 5-shot buffer on my Coolpix to work for similar unpredicatble shooting situations (Lightning, moving animals, even sports) The higer speed options lose too much detail.

A more reliable (but costly) way to get daylight lightning is to use a Lightning Trigger
(I don't own one, have never used one, but have read good things)

| I looked at the lightning trigger for my film Nikons, but Coolpix are not applicable, so I have to try other ideas until I upgrade my digital camera someday. |

Expecting the unexpected or just walking around discovering the world, I tend to have my cam set on Continuous and 1/1000 sec. This setting provides quite a range of possibilities.
