Blitzortung and Photography

[Jorgeminator]

Hi,

I am an amateur photographer and I am interested to take lightning photos. :-)

I am alone here at Blitzortung.com or there are more people with the same interest ?

I start to use Blitzortung.com to help me find lightning in real time.

In my country there aren't so many storms, and I read that Catatumbo River, Venezuela is the beste place in the wrould to see lightning storms.

Any ideas about this ?  Some advices ? 

Many thanks in advance !

You are definitely not alone. I share the same interest, although I usually don't have much time to do lightning photography. The lightning season up here in Finland is relatively short, too, and the storms are usually not very intense. I have still managed to snap a few images. There are many ways to do lightning photography, just get a decent DSLR and experiment with shutter speeds, ISO and so on. Here is my favorite shot that I took two summers ago.
