Galactica Electrica

I am currently on holidays in Reunion Island, and with 3 friends we decided to head in the middle of the night to the South East of the Island to shoot the Milky Way. When we arrived, a thunderstorm was just starting on the horizon, I was able to capture this unique moment.

People are questioning the authenticity of this shot because it is a 30s exposure and the sea ripples are visible. So I will explain this: it was pitch dark, one strike of lighting lit the whole scene for a fraction of seconds, and hence I was able to capture a short exposure of the water.
