    lightning is super simple and easy to catch with just your phone because it’s so bright.

    For those wondering: during a lightning storm just set your camera on a stand/lean it against the wall, set the time to 30 seconds, and the exposure to -3 and ISO to 100 (low as it will go), and just keep continuously taking photos. Eventually you’ll catch a bolt. I’ve done it on a beach just leaning my phone against a log.

    It’s the exact opposite to trying to catch something with 1/4000th of a second to do it.
