Re: lighting- nature's flash bulb

Hi:

I used to take lightning shots with a lens camera. It just put my camera out stopped it
down and hoped lightning would happen during the exposure.

With a pinhole camera the exposure time would be much longer which would translate into a
bigger opportunity that lightning would occur during the exposure.

I don't think you could use lightning to illuminate the photo - unless you were in the near
vicinity of where it strikes - I don't think that would be very safe :)

I used the ambient lighting - usually shot in the city so that street lights would provide
most of the illumination.

I think I have some recommended exposures for moonlight - I'll look them up.
