Hi,

I don't think you need to use ISO 400, 100 will be just fine. Also, I limit my exposures to 5 seconds to avoid noise build-up.

I remember seeing a documentary about a lightning photographer in Florida. He said that nearby lightning strikes momentarily illuminate the surroundings with similar intensity as daylight, so your camera settings can be the same as a daylight shot except for the exposure length. I've found this works for me.

Hoping to get some decent lightning in Sydney soon!

Cheers

Morton
