Id recommend investing in some gradual N.D filters, makes the image much nicer instead of whited out sky.

Which shot are you refering to?

Or just use Lightroom's ND grad tool if shooting RAW, it's much easier and cheaper.

Yeah but if he buys the corkin starter kit he can not only start to use then for the sky but use the extra stop available from stacking them up with a tripod and getting some smooth waves or head inland for some waterfalls.

Plus I prefer filters so I'm biased

Depends very much on the scene's contrast, the DR could easiyl exceed what the sensor can record before saturation.

Well in this one you can see colour blotching in the shadows, so alternatively instead of filters he could take a couple of exposures instead that are maybe a couple of stops apart.
Regardless it's a lovely shot though...

First time trying to capture lightning, was very lucky that the storm was intense so the were numerous flashes. Taken on Dartmoor, near Staple Tor.

Nice work!

I was woken up by it in central London at 4am, saw some amazing flashes, unfortunately I can't open any windows in this apartment - I just have a vent and the rain totally screwed any chance of shooting through the window,

You did well to get that,

Moredhel · 18 Jul 2014 at 23:23

Not sure I could be doing with a flat I couldn't open the windows in. I have nice large windows here that open inwards so I can get the tripod between them and the outside
