Las Vegas lightening show ** pics **

We're in Las Vegas for a quick 4th of July family vacation. While I was hoping to capture some fireworks, however not to be outdone, Zeus unleashed a thunderous show of his own. These were captured last night.

Happy 4th everyone!

Great shots. What exposures did you use?

Thanks Howard. I'm trying to keep up with your mad skilz.

I shoot in manual. Iso 100, F5.6, for 4 seconds on tripod with remote trigger. The trick is to get an idea where the lightening is active and then keep firing.
