Lightning storms:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What I generally do is =USE A TRIPOD= and find a spot to take a photo from (preferably away from the storm - lightning storm + metal tripod = big uh oh!). The next bit is a bit of hit and miss....I set my shutterspeed to bulb or a nice long exposure(a few seconds at least) if you don't have bulb. And open the shutter when you think lightning is going to strike. No need to use fast film - 100ISO (and even slower) film is good.Low Light Shooting:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not sure what you mean here but in general:
Use a tripod and/or fast film (again depends on what you're taking picture of). Meter off the part of the scene you want as midtone (ie don't meter off the brightest sections as shadows won't have detail and don't meter off shadows cause you'll get washed out highlights). Hope that helps.
