Thanks Al, Thanks Joshman!
What i did was i had the camera set up on tripod with remote release, ISO 100 @ f/16. The storm was quite dark, and i had to judge what the focus was, i know the Canon 18-55mm lens doesn't focus on infinity according to the stop, it actually goes through focus, so i have to tweak it back slightly, and thats the tricky part! How do you focus lock with DSLR??
I'll have a squiz at the manual tonight.....
The problem with "pre-focussing" is that when theres lightning the camera can see contrast, but when its dark it can't. What ends up happening is that the camera will try to re-focus if in Auto mode before snapping the shot, and it won't take the pic when its trying to focus in the dark.....
My exposures were 30 seconds, i just set it up on manual 30" and let it rip!
Cheers!
