Location
I took this image on Palm Beach, Florida.Time
My image was shot at 10:00 pm.Lighting
I wanted to have a nicely exposed foreground to compliment the thunderhead.Equipment
I shot this with a Canon 6D with a 16-35mm f/2.8 on a promaster tripod.Inspiration
Lightning is one of my favorite subjects to shoot. I will give it a go in just about any situation but to have a nicely structured storm like this sitting in clean air as opposed to being surrounded by clouds is a rarity.Editing
Yes. I stacked 5 images together to have several bolts in the same shot.In my camera bag
I always have two bodies. Canon 6D and Canon 5D Mark II. My go to lenses are the 16-35mm f/2.8 and the 24-105mm f/4.0. I have tripods and intervalometers for both setups so I can create time lapses.Feedback
Be safe. Lightning is extremely dangerous and unpredicatable. It's best to remain several miles from the storm to avoid precipitation and be less of a target for lightning.
