Artist Statement
My first successful effort at capturing a lightning shot; three years to get this one, it was taken from the top landing of the Lincoln Memorial.
Rules are made to be broken. Was told to always use F4 when shooting lightning - I used F8. Was told to use fast film - I used Velvia ASA 50. Was told to use tungsten corrected film - I used daylight film without sufficient 5K light. The green is caused by the artificial light, the magenta by the lightning. F8 got me the depth of field I wanted. Don't believe everything you are told.
Nikon F4, Velvia ASA 50, 85mm lens, Tripod with cable release.
