Location
I took this photo from my apartment patio during a heavy storm. I had a stunning view of the storm from the first floor.Time
It was evening when the storm hit. I sat outside in the storm for 4 hours trying to capture the perfect image.Lighting
It takes a lot of patience and excellent reflexes to capture lightning, if you don't have the right equipment. When you do get that perfect image though, the sense of accomplishment is beyond comprehension.Equipment
I used a smart phone to capture this image. Sitting still, in one position all the time to get the perfect shot.Inspiration
I absolutely love lightning. The power, speed and different shapes are mesmerising. It's also incredibly difficult to capture without professional equipment, and that challenge is appealing to me.Editing
No, this is all natural.In my camera bag
I run with my smart phone. I'm an amateur and enjoy capturing moments in life that are often missed opportunities.Feedback
Know your equipment, study the trends of storms, observe each opportunity and be ready to be patient and have hundreds of blank pictures. Once that perfect one comes, it'll all be worth it.
