We are fast approaching the festive time of year, and with that often we have the fireworks displays. How many times have you been out watching the fireworks and the people around you frantically snapping away trying to capture the brilliance of the show?

You will have seen those amazing shots of lightning, have you ever wondered how you capture the raw intensity of bolts of white and purple shooting across the sky?
Shooting lightning is not easy and is one of the more difficult photography techniques to master although with a bit of practise and the right conditions you too will be able to add dramatic lightning photographs to your collection.
