Toh Guan Thunderbolts
Toh Guan, Singapore
I don't always post processed photos right after I shoot them, but I really can't help but share this multiple-exposure, time-blended composite photo of the lightning storm over Toh Guan (actually it was technically over Jurong Island in the south according to the weather radar).
Initially I wanted to head out to shoot the sunset after work, but had to put off my plans due to the heavy monsoon rain, so I headed back home instead. While having dinner, I noticed an intense lightning storm that was taking place around my area. Since I've shot the sunset over Toh Guan from the nearby Bukit Batok Skyline, I thought I'd give lightning photography a try.
Really glad that I did, because not only was the sky clear enough for the lightning to be captured on camera (usually the clouds tend to obscure the lightning, resulting in the rainclouds being lit up instead), the storm lasted for a good hour and stretched across the sky with multiple bolts for this composite to be a success.
I'll post the shots that I used for this blended photo, but here are some processing details for now: 31-shot blend over a period of about an hour, shot with a Nikon D850 and a Sigma 12-24mm Art lens, cloned away the ceiling and lens flare in the frame and cropped down to size.
