Very well designed, there are lots of easy to understand articles, so really I have seen lot of useful photography hints hereI'm also a keen lightning photographer, and made some experiment already on this topic. I would like to share my blog with you where I also write about the lightning photography (maybe not in the same professional manner than you do): http://nagybela75.blogspot.com/2008/06/shooting-lightning.htmlI'm based in Debrecen, Hungary and we have some time-slot in the year, from late June to end of August where we can experience some really hard thunderstorms and I'm lucky, because I just put my tripod out to the balcony and use my IR remote control on my D50 and try to catch the lightning. One of my dreams are to take some pics in US, I've heard that there are some really heaving lightning in Arizona...Best Regards, Bela Nagy Debrecen, Hungary Hi Nasim,

Did you mean to say D5000? I would take both lenses and mount the 70-300 first :) Now if you are planning to stay close, then the 18-55 would obviously be a better choice.Good luck and be careful, those tornadoes can be closer than you think!

Massachusetts is under a Tornado watch today and hoping to rock out some first attempts with the D500 :-) Now which lens to use 18-55 or go for the 70-300? Only one way to find out!
