Lightning Shots - 3 different ways

We had storms come through here in southern Louisiana yesterday and there was lots of lightning. Once my duty day ended at four o’clock, I got into my car and tried to get some lightning shots. I had my phone shooting video and my Samsung Gear 360 was going in the back of my car. The shots below are from three different ways I was able to capture lightning.

This still shot was taken from a video I took on my Samsung Galaxy S10+

This shot was taken with the Lightning Camera app.

There are different ways to capture lightning if you have the patience. For example, I took over 40 minutes of video with the 360 camera and this was the best lightning strike I got.

I hope you enjoyed the lightning shots as much as I enjoyed being out there and getting them. I love storm photography.

Please like, comment, and subscribe if you haven’t. I hope you have an outstanding day. Peace.

My phone - my camera

Since my hiatus last year, I’ve focused on getting better at mobile photography. I have my phone on me all the time so why not utilize the camera, practice and get better at it. In this post, I will show you the apps I use when taking pictures and shooting video.
