What you see here is the result of a compilation of lightning shots I took last year, and only discovered again today as I was filing through my folders. The shot was taken on the 27th of November 2013. This is a combination of 43 exposures I took during a storm. This is the amount of lighting recorded over a period of 11 minutes in the South of Johannesburg.
This is a product of my guts and determination and a Nikon D5100 with an 18-200mm Nikkor lens. All of the bolts are real and they all occurred over that 11 minute window earlier mentioned.
