Single Raw HDR shot of lightning above Kowloon in Hong Kong.
This was a 25 sec. long exposure using my 14-24mm, which I chose in order to try and capture as much of the scene as possible since lightning can be so unpredictable... Had hoped for more usable images but only captured 3 good ones (incl. this one) in over half an hour despite intense lightning activity! Would've also liked this to be touching down but I think this lightning streak across the sky is really awesome~ the reach is at least over 10km from the mountains to the bay!
I remember my first feeble attempt at capturing lightning some years ago resulted in a blurry mush via a P&S camera. So happy to have improved technique, better equipment, and some luck to be in the right place at the right time to finally capture lightning! :D
Feel free to leave a comment!
