A few years back I was watching this video by Nick Page about the basics of capturing lightning strikes by shooting timelapses. I have been meaning to give it a go for ages but the weather here in NZ is difficult to capture when stormy. Its very hard to get on the outside of a storm to shoot it as they generally cover entire regions rather than being localised “cells” like they do on the bigger landmasses like the US and Australia.
In this instance the weather was slowly progressing south towards home after work so quickly jumped out of the car to capture the timelapses in the video below. Sadly no lightning strikes, but some cool footage nevertheless.
Enjoy!
