Could be a plan. I take it it's as "simple" as soften/blur tool carefully applied in the obvious direction? Of course being a Fuji user now I can tripod and snap from the drivers seat on any industrial estate that takes my fancy. WiFi camera control is a godsend at times. On a side note, did...

I would love to but I'm the only one insured to drive the truck!

Hi all, Six months ago I put an artic on the road and have spent the past six months looking desperately for decent locations for photography. I've found a couple but not very many. Now its time for a new lorry, (the last one was a six month hire, this one is mine for five years) and I am...

Im fairly certain it was Wex actually but equally wrong. My point stands though, no matter how the trigger triggers, it ain't done by the tog, so does the lightning own copyright as it triggered the photo of itself?

I don't know. I've never done lightning photography but I read a guide on it a couple of years ago which said you needed a sound trigger. I thought the same as you, light travels much faster than sound, but apparently thats the way to do it.

To extend that even further, surely then a photo of lighting taken with a sound trigger would be the copyright of the lightning itself as it triggered the image not the photographer who composed the scene.

Oh hell yes! I can't talk specific weights but I wouldn't trust a neck strap with it. I always carried it on a monopod when it wasn't in its case, carried like a brick hod.

If I were you I would go for the 100-400, its more flexibile and unless you are doing a lot of night racing the f4.5-5.6 won't impact you unduly. If you are planning on doing a lot of low light work then a f2.8 prime lens is the better option but I don't see that the step up from f4 to f5.6 at...

I've just switched to XT-2s so have been getting to grips with EVF blackout too. I've found that the best thing to do is go for rapid fire. I understand what @ukaskew is saying about picking your moment but I don't have the luxury of not getting the shot, I have to get one in focus! I'll give...

Thanks Rob, going to do a bit of reading on that website when I am working tomorrow.

Ahhh, makes some sense. Thank you Mariner.

Where is Prof. Stephen Hawking when you need him! This is weird-assed physics and stuff.

A similar, (but not as pronounced) effect was happening on Mechanical Shutter too.

Hmmm, more weirdness. Nice shot though.

Beauty of a Fuji. Its mirrorless, so you can turn the shutter noise off! Dear god, she will go bonkers if she hears you calling her club bent! She's as proud of her 3 Wood as I am of my new Fujis.
