Capturing and Editing Lightning with a Kit Lens | Canon 70D

This video will take you through the process of capturing lightning at night with a kit lens. Lightning is absolutely the most fun thing to capture but many people are unsure of how to do it. Follow these steps and you will no longer wonder.

Hope you come back to TH-cam someday but I understand if life is too busy. Priorities trump hobbies, but you have a good channel and a solid video foundation. Thanks for this!

Terry McGhee thank you Terry. I really want to start creating videos again. It was a lot of fun and it’s sad that it’s been so long since I’ve done it. It is also very uplifting to know that people like my content. And yes you are right, life has been crazy. I’ve been doing tons of real estate photography and weddings and it’s taking up all of my time. Hope you’re doing well!

I have a Canon EOS 4000D not bad for lightning.

You encouraged me to try this. It lightnings and rains like every other day on the eastern coast. Our weather is similar to London. I'm sick of indoor bokeh whoring. Lol. Good video. 100+ now. Good to see you back.

Garnett Leary thanks! I bet you can get some great shots over there.

Hey i also have a canon 70d but it won't let me take a photo if it can't get focused and at night it is too dark and there is nothing to focus on before the lightning so do u have any tips for how to set that?

Hey man great video! The other day i tried to shoot lightnig. I had like 5-10 exposure f8 or smth with a nd1000 filter during day.i had thunder strikes in the frame But I did not the catch them . U know what could be the problem?

[@domes_fotoblicke]

ND 1000 is to strong, for capturing lightning. Try a ND 64 for daytime Thunderstorms and close your apurture, like F16 and choose your shutterspeed to 1 or 2 Seconds and ISO should be low as possible.

Hello Ricky.. I know there's no correlation between this video and my comment. But I read your testimony on 'Even When It Hurts' Hillsong's MV about you and your wife wanting a child. I want to share my parents' testimony. My parents got me in 8th years of their marriage as their firstborn (it's a LONG waiting I know!😂) Just wanna tell you that Everything is Beautiful in HIS time. So keeps the HOPE & PRAYER up! GOD will provides in HIS times! Amen.. GOD Bless you and your wife. 😊
