My first shots getting lightning on my Nikon D60 (but not my first shots ever). I am just looking for some hints and tips on what can be done to make better lightning shots, if possible.</p>

<p>My setup to capture these was first actually TRACKING the storm (I'm strongly into meteorology too), finding a few spots I already have picked out to watch it, then hopefully point the camera in the right direction. 20 second shutter timer, usually set to F/11 aperture, and at 18mm.</p>

<p>...and yes, they're resized down to about 50% or so of their original size, not including cropping that's already been done. <img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="smile" smilieid="105" class="inlineimg" /></p>
