NICK-- I did as you suggested and watched Supercell and Storm Light videos. Wow! The SC photos of the eye of the storm is the Greatest photo of it's kind I've seen in my lifetime and NICK I'm 75 yrs old and some of photos you took of the Light storm of lightning which included and ole farm house and grain elevators-- very little commentary, hits it out of the Park! Randy B.
I can never get enough of your facial expression when you look worried or scared lol. Priceless. Thanks for the tips Nick. Something I hope to remember when lightening shows up.
@@NickPage would absolutely love that man. A trip to the west coast is inevitable! And it's not quite Scotland but would be a pleasure to have you in Wales if you're ever over these ways again
Your lighting photos are absolutely beautiful. Well most of your photos are. But you have to admit that having a subject like the beauty of nature is awesome. Sometimes I stand there and forget all about my camera as I am distracted by the scenery itself and how beautiful it is. Then kick my self all the way home that I missed the shot. But hey I was there and got to witness it anyway so that is worth something. Keep up these awesome videos.
All that means is that you were out there for the right reasons! Anytime you’re out in nature it’s always a win-win experience even if you don’t get the shot
Excellent music choice in this video too. The sort of mysterious sound adds to the danger of the lightning and the magic of photography and getting those killer shots. So much better than the generic electronic crap so many other channels use to try to be hip.
if those strikes would happen this close me, i will just drive away, and here Nick shooting tutorial for us. salute to your dedication sir. i did capture my first storm last night in alberta. credit goes to your last few videos. your channel helping me a lot to learn about landscape photography in rightful manners.
Great video Nick, love the photos. It’s amazing how a storm can make you feel so alive. I’m surprised more cameras don’t have the Olympus feature where it takes a photo, but then has a second phase where it keeps the shutter open and only adds light that is brighter than already exposed in the image. This means it captures further lightning strikes without overexposing the image. A neat feature.
i know im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Orion Malik I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I'm stuck with crippled internet at the moment. I get around 0.5mbit/s due to issues - but youtube plays without issues at 4k resolution. So I cannot properly work from home or do anything BUT watch youtube and netflix. Perfect time to sit back, set the video quality to 4k, pick up the headphones and watch another one of Nicks amazing videos that oozes quality and atmosphere. Great job, stay safe with these storms and I really need to get myself out there when something rolls around the corner and is not just one thunder and then gone again.
Really nice video! That image at 2:00 with the railroad tracks was classy. I don't know about other mirrorless cameras, but Sonys have a "manual focus assist" feature that should help a lot. There's also a "setting effect" that you can set to "off" and it will give you a brighter image in the EVF. Lightning can be a real danger for people outside, but sitting in a car is relatively safe. The metal frame forms what is called a Faraday cage that shields you. I grew up in Cleveland Ohio, on the shores of Lake Erie. Usually there wasn't enough wind shear to produce tornadoes, but we would get enormous lightning and rain storms coming off the lake. Where you live, you might have to worry about hail damaging the windows of your truck. Good luck!
Yes focussing is the real problem. I set my distance marker on the lens I use 24-70 f2.8 just to the right of the infinity symbol. I have had great success using LR to bridge the dynamic range extremities as I always prefer to under expose to avoid burn-out of the lightning.
Great video Nick. I always wondered how photographers captured lightning shots. Thanks to you now I know and will try this on the rare occasions that we have lightning storms in the UK.
Dude those images are amazing. I been wanting to try this for a while and just did a random search and came across your video on the how to tips. awesome advice and now I can't wait wait for a lightning storm..lol
Very informative video! I've also had mixed luck using a lightening trigger...glad I am not the only one. Your method is simple and - from your photos - very effective.
I hear ya on the lightning trigger...i found that using either in camera timer or an Intervelometer works waaaay better. Plus i can set the exposure time to my liking.
I like your photos of lightning. I have been taking photos of lightning for the past 15years but never achieved too much of quality until I bought a Lightning Trigger (by name) around 10years ago (and also went to the tropics). It never fails me. Other than that what you produce is more or less the same as mine. However apart from camera setting differences, day time is the same with a trigger as nighttime. All my photos are shot at around 1-2secs day or night f7 night f22 day (with ND filter during day), ISO 64 now with Z7. I prefer to let storms come to me - in Tropics that's easy, As you say all you get with a storm on you is ... rain. Best shots as storm recedes. I'm not a fan of multiple lightning strikes in one frame. Thanks for sharing.
after watching your last storm video i got inspired and hit the road, no lightning but got some awesome clouds. i was actually searching the title of this video last week to get myself ready for next time, must have read my mind! such a great buzz to be out there at the mercy of mother nature Cheers Nick!
I was thinking about adding one of those ‘lightning triggers’ to my kit bag but after watching this I’m just going to do it all in camera and try your settings out first 👍🏼 Thanks Nick
Always time well spent to watch your video Nick... They are comprehensive and informative.... I always learn a lot watching them. Great photography... the images you shared are wonderful. thanks for continuing to share your tips and techniques. Love it!
Nick, a very informative video about your process for photographing lightning. All of the photographs are awesome. The blended photograph of your truck totally rocks.
I just started doing lightning photography. I do most wildlife/Landscape. Lightning is for sure very challenging. I'm in a no way a professional so it's a lifetime of learning. But I honestly think you gave me a better option. I've captured lightning a few times in the day time and it certainly wasn't perfect but very hard t get it right in the day. I had never tried at night. There are always storms here in Florida, so tonight I will be trying for a night shot.
i use bulb mode and keep looking via electronic view finder all the time and wait for the lightning and click the shutter hand held... and yes my images dont look even a cent percent as good as the ones shown in the video. but i love the activity and time i spend while using bulb mode + evf + hand held.. its really fun to use and spend time
Thanks Nick, never shot lightning before, & now I'd definitely give it a try, there's plenty of it down here in New Mexico during the summer - and even once in a while during the winter! You're a pro baby!!!
These are stunning, great video. I'm also enjoying the F4 package very much, happy to support you guys and make my contribution for all the great free content from the four of you over the years. We don't often get storms like this here in the UK, but you never know!
Thanks Nike! I was told by a friend of mine to watch your videos if i wanted to learn photography, I can see why. 😊 I mostly photograph wildlife, I love it, I struggle with landscape photography. Going to watch your videos. It was amazing to see you photographing the lightening. Cheers! 😊👏
Impressive! I am inspired to explore lightning photography. We're traveling the US and should see lightning frequently especially in the SE this winter.

Utterly awesome images! Talk about the 'Wow factor'. On top of this you have provided an information packed video that is full of interest. Thank you so much.
Excellent work Nick I learned a lot from this video ... it’s useless to try out the same sittings on my old Sony a57 ... sigh .... time to upgrade my gear
Brother, I followed this to the T. With about 45 mins of 10sec intervals... i nailed my money shot! This is legit, just patience and i had 2 128gbs in my a7iii...and it eventually came.
The joy in this life is a camera, a backpack and a pick-up to go farther and keep chasing beautiful sceneries. Good job man
It will be nice to see next video editing one of these photos...

Great video dude, those lightning bolts just popping off behind you! Love your lightning/storm shots, as I do the rest of your work.
Really appreciate it man! At some point we need to get together
@@NickPage would absolutely love that man. A trip to the west coast is inevitable! And it's not quite Scotland but would be a pleasure to have you in Wales if you're ever over these ways again
@@AlynWallace absolutely.. if you ever have plans coming this way, let me know, and I will do the same!
6:48 Let's not forget the added bonus of not getting struck by lightning!
Definitely!! No. 1 reason in my mind!!
Your lighting photos are absolutely beautiful. Well most of your photos are. But you have to admit that having a subject like the beauty of nature is awesome.

Excellent music choice in this video too. The sort of mysterious sound adds to the danger of the lightning and the magic of photography and getting those killer shots. So much better than the generic electronic crap so many other channels use to try to be hip.
Love These Weather Video's, Keep It Up Nick & Stay Safe

Great captures and video Nick. I echo your sentiments on the Lightning triggers, I have had almost zero luck with them.
I'd love to try this. Awesome lightning shots 👏👏👏

Fantastic images and another excellent video! Thanks!
Dude those images are amazing. I been wanting to try this for a while and just did a random search and came across your video on the how to tips. awesome advice and now I can't wait wait for a lightning storm..lol
💥💥 Great video thank you. 3:47. It’s interesting how your scene on the ground was exposed the same at 96s and in the following one at 30s
Some great photos and great advice. Thank you.👍

Incredible shots!!! Will have to try your suggested approach ... and stay out of harms way ...
Great to see you back! I've missed your photography sessions!
most awaited video ever. hope you will do more in future.
Great video Nick. Over the border here in BC I saw a lighting once.

Thanks for the tips, I will try to use them in practice when a thunderstorm moves in. 👌👍 btw great photos !

The image with your truck is brilliant nick, great video.
Great video and AWESOME images Nick. Thanks for sharing!! ps, I always like your vids LOL!!
To infinity and beyond! LOL Great video. Thanks.
Some stunning images there Nick. Right place right time. Great how to tips.
Thanks for sharing again Nick, and not getting zapped.
Great shots. Goes well with your truck to. I really hope you are careful when shooting lightning.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Hope you’re enjoying the F4 Road trip!
Thanks I thought I really needed a lightning trigger to have a go at lightning, great tip on the focusing.
Thanks Nike! I was told by a friend of mine to watch your videos if i wanted to learn photography, I can see why. 😊 I mostly photograph wildlife, I love it, I struggle with landscape photography. Going to watch your videos. It was amazing to see you photographing the lightening. Cheers! 😊👏
Thanks Nick! Great information.
great photos . reminded me of Tim Page war photographer . had to look 😊
Nice job man, i will try with my camera as you said you do it, thank you very much.
It’s nice when you get lightning and no rain. My 6D isn’t weather sealed, I should invest in one of those underwater bags.
Peak Design do good camera coats, and weatherproof bags I use them on my M50 and for lenses.
Wooo, that’s dramatic and a lot of fun! Great tips and beautifully filmed. Thanks.
Impressive! I am inspired to explore lightning photography. We're traveling the US and should see lightning frequently especially in the SE this winter.

I really enjoy the storm videos. Very well done, thanks.
Some stunners there’s Nick, great job matey. I wish we had some storms like these once in a while
Some great shots
Very informative, thank you for the video Nick
Great stuff Nick... I use Bulb mode method... so easy. Now, what to do for day lightning. side note: cool lighbar!
Thanks Nick, for your opinion on lightning triggers. I'll use the money I was going to spend on one for fuel to go somewhere cool.
i like tihs feeling you put into theese videos
Great video. I would love to get to do some lighting photography.
What you can talk 😱😱😱! Great work as bevor!
Excellent video and hopefully now I'll be able to catch a lightening strike for the first time.
Fantastic video! Very helpful!
Utterly awesome images! Talk about the 'Wow factor'. On top of this you have provided an information packed video that is full of interest. Thank you so much.
Superb video and excellent info as always!
Great pics and inspired to get out next time a storm rolls by.
Great video 👍! As a current UA-camr, I am on the lookout for creative ideas! Great Job!
Awesome Nick, thanks for the tipps :)
That intro shot is so dope!
As usual, an excellent presentation, and beautifully explained. A job well done
So look forward to your videos Nick, excellent and very informative mate, thanks for your efforts and wonderful photography! 🤘🤓🤘
Thank you. This really helps.
Hi, Nick! Thanks for sharing your technique and tips. So valuable!
Great video, gonna have to try this next year when its storm season. Thanks for all the tips.
Wow. Hell of a video. Well done.
Well done Nick. Very interesting
Great shots Nick and love your choice of setting. Thanks for the info and I need to keep my fingers crossed for a good storm 😊
Excellent work Nick I learned a lot from this video ... it’s useless to try out the same sittings on my old Sony a57 ... sigh .... time to upgrade my gear
Have I seen this video before? Great video
great videos mate keep up your great work..
Wow nick that was brilliant. The lighting strikes where amazing.. Love you channel 👌
Excellent content! Thank you
Nice tutorial Nick, answers all the important questions..that haunting background sound though...scarry....creeped me out at night
Brother, I followed this to the T. With about 45 mins of 10sec intervals... i nailed my money shot! This is legit, just patience and i had 2 128gbs in my a7iii...and it eventually came.
Awesome to hear it!
Very encouraging to go out of give this a try soon. Thanks for the variety and inspiration to do something different!
Great video. Thanks for the information
Very cool shots, Nick! Thanks for the tips and safety advice.
