I love taking photographs of nature, and probably my favorite weather phenomenon is lightning. So whenever I see a storm approaching I get very excited. I have taken many photographs of lighting, going back many years when I first used my cell phone’s camera to try and take these photographs. But now, with my Fujifilm X-T1, I can really relax and almost be certain (if the weather plays along) that I will get a good photo. The reason for this is the camera’s interval shooting function. I first set up the shot and choose my settings(i.e. shutter speed,  ISO and aperture). I then move into the camera’s second menu and select Interval Timer Shooting. In that menu I then choose how many photos I want to take as well as the interval between each photo. I usually choose 1 second as the interval between shots. By pressing OK, you move on to the final menu where you can choose the time when you want to start taking the photos. I always start immediately to take the photos. By pressing OK again, the camera starts taking the photographs and you can just relax and hope that a beautiful lightning beam will be in your frame…….
