Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at Kuala Sepetang, Perak, Malaysia.

Time

This was taken at 5:41pm, 19 April 2013.

Lighting

It was raining heavily at the town side, with very dark clouds. It was not raining where I was at that time.

Equipment

This was shot on a Canon G11, while I was travelling on a boat.

Inspiration

I have always wanted to take photo of lightning, but I had never succeed as I have never get the timing right. This was actually taken accidentally, as I just wanted to take a photo of the dark clouds. When I checked back the photos, I was surprised that I caught the lightning on my camera.

Editing

A little bit processing on the brightness and contrast.

In my camera bag

I used to carry my Canon G11 around. Now I have a Canon EOS 70D with 18-55 IS STM lens.

Feedback

Just snapping whatever that interests you, try your luck and you'll never know what you might have captured in a snap.
