Fantastic stuff, Mark! The Alvord has been on my to-visit list for a while now! I might need to pick up a 4x4 before venturing there though. I'm not sure I want to risk it in my Ford Focus, especially if a rainstorm turns the place into quicksand.
Thank you! Awesome, you will love it. As long as you have all wheel drive or 4WD you are good. But when the monster storms come rolling in, be ready to rip out of there! I just shot it again a day ago and again got amazing lightning and even mammatus clouds! But (again) as soon as I got the shot the storm hit hard and I barely got off the playa. In 3 minutes the whole place was a lake again!!! No joke! I drove like 80 until I got off it and then in about another minute it was a shallow lake... One person was stuck out there. But the good thing was that the playa was so thirsty that by the next morning one could drive on it again...

Lightning Trigger IV? That's the guy that owns the trademark on "Lightning Trigger" I think. That's the one I have. I haven't used it with my Sony cameras yet, but have captured a few spectacular bolts with my 5d3.
The Lightning Trigger
I have their best one.
Another idea is to put a ND on and shoot back to back longer exposures. This works well too... I did this the last 2 nights as I forgot the trigger and we have been getting nice electrical storms in Eastern Oregon...
Have fun out there!
