Un cantiere edile, in città , le gru, un temporale lontano, rigurgitante di lampi, ma nemmeno una goccia d'acqua.

currents flow through my skin
emotions strike deep within.
up one day, down the next
I'll stay true unlike the rest.
Never changing, loyal, and kind
I swear to be your electrical twind.

Haven't been out with the camera for a while as my number one is in for repair. Couldn't resist going down to the front last night with my spare camera for the free light show. The sheet lightening went on for about an hour, right over my hometown (Swansea) across the bay.
An intense electrical storm rolled over Kelowna, British Columbia last night. People were out with their cameras at the marina going crazy trying to capture the elusive bolt. It's all in the wrist!
Our first day in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe staying at Camp Hwange. This was later in the evening before supper. A great day to remember.
Artistic electrical junction box
Another one of these hand painted junction boxes in and around The City Beautiful downtown.
Here's another stacked image from last week that shows a house being struck numerous times. Turns out the storm was more than 40 miles away in line of sight between me and that house. Four cloud to ground strikes occurred in less than 3 minutes. This is a cropped depiction. A Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 lens was used.
Even after a relative success at Omoide, I still wanted a large scale dystopian shot, industrial sure, but with a hint of a futuristic look which is something the izakayas didn't really offer. I had no idea my ultimate opportunity would arrive in the form of a Yodobashi store.
Researching once I got back from Japan, apparently a lot of Yodobashis have large neon signs out front. The only one I was familiar with beforehand in Akihabara just didn't have that, so I had no reason to suspect THIS was waiting for me at the plaza in Shinjuku. Come to think of it, I actually didn't expect to come back with a lot of shots from Shinjuku, yet it's very clear now that this eclipses all the other Tokyo districts on my camera roll, maybe even combined. There's just something about it's dirtier nature that seemed so photogenic.
So in my previous Yodobashi Plaza post I foreshadowed this as my "much better shot". I browsed for a while waiting for the sky to get darker and it started raining. Finding a spot to put my tripod was a bit challenging and I constantly had to wipe my lens off (I had to move my umbrella everytime it was actually time to shoot so it took a couple drops). The sky wasn't dark enough it was still a deep purple, so in editing I went all in. Tried to give this photo powerful shadows, a black sky, and a dominating red/yellow color scheme.
When I say "cyberpunk" I don't think I got closer to that then this. A large sign from above and the branching out signs to either side on the bottom, along with the contrast of the white sign (the only part of this image I couldn't read, I know what the rest say). What would've been even more awesome is if I managed to get a rain streak in my shot considering I was shooting on a slow shutter, but it wasn't that profuse, so it didn't end up in my frame. I have several slightly different and/or vertical frames as well so there is a chance I'll revisit this shot in the future (that is, if we're not already in said future).
