I finally got a storm to cooperate this year. Being a n00b at LF I am looking for suggestions to make this better.
This was taken with a Nikkor 5.6/180 about a 50 sec. exposure with 100TMX. D-76 at 9 minutes.
I am pleased that I got an image. The focus is ummm ok. No movement except rise on the front.
Here it the thing. I don't get much opportunity control the light. That is the storms choosing. Some flashes are bright blotting out all or they could be completely within the cloud defining the structure but not very bright. A tough situation. Is there a better way to handle this?
While the lighter areas here are soft with smooth gradient, there is little separation between the light clouds and the small bolt. As noted it is not consistent. The cloud in front is fairly muddy but I would suspect that it is because of it being lit from the ground by the city lights.
I am not sure what to do to make this better. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance
