Heavy lightning in Hungary.

Nice job! Single exposure?

Nope, I used 5 single exposures and blended them together in Photoshop. Each exposure was roughly 30sec long, f8, ISO around 800. So it is more or less a 2,5 minute long exposure. The thunderstorm was insane, I've never seen so much lightning in such a short time. But it's a pitty that back then I only had my old D300 + 17-55mm f2.8 - ISO performance is not the best and in the edges it lost a lot of sharpness.

Thanks for the details. You know what they say, the best camera is the one you have. Regardless of the rig it's an intense shot.

Thank you very much! And yes, that's very true! Because of this fact I sold all my Nikon gear and switched to a Fuji X-T1, so much smaller therefore always with me!

i also interested to know what's the settings. the exif data is missing.. lol
very lucky to get this shoot *thumbs up*

I posted the settings! Check the other comment...
