With the lightning storms expected this afternoon, I'm going to try
to take some daytime pictures of lightning. Does anyone have any
advice on exposure? The lightning is visible during the day, so my
guess is that no special exposure is necessary, but last night I tried
f/4.0 at ASA 500 and the lightning didn't even register....

Also, what about white balance?

Thanks for any advice.

My advice would be to not multipost, and either cross post to related
groups, or keep the discussion to one group. There are a number of
replies in rec.photo.equipment.35mm.

Also, Joel, if you added a -- plus one space and one "Enter", you'll
create a sig delimiter which will be read by standard news readers and
everything below that will be removed in the reply. Then no one should
mind what's there.
