Mike Martin Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I went to this bridge a few years ago and made an attempt from essentially the same place. The difference being there was a lot of lightning from distant storms and heat. This evening however I was presented with a problem. It took almost 45 minutes for my lenses to warm up to a point where they weren't fogged up from condensation. It was quite warm but so humid outside. In any case this is with the kit lens (I need a new wide angle) at 18mm. 10 seconds, f/9 and ISO250. I had been doing some longer 20-30 second exposures and wasn't getting the lightning so I changed to shorter exposures instead and got lucky once.

KenElevenShadows Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Very cool. Great capture of some lightning, and great colors. Hand warmers and rubber bands (or a beer cozy) is a good cheap non-technical way to keep the lens warm and do away with condensation, dew, etc. There are tons of ultra wide angle lens around now, from relatlively cheap to a couple of thousand dollars.

Thanks Ken for the great ideas.
