The only lightning strike that we (or rather a friend of mine) managed to get from our time up at Pinnacle@Duxton. Because I'm not tall enough to lean out far enough to clamp my camera on the outer set of barriers, my friend helped with the clamping and also provided the raw exposure for the lightning, which was blended with a base exposure from my camera.

Had a friend bring me into his residence at this iconic building, so I spent half a day photographing the interior. Light did not disappoint; except for the occasional clouds blocking the sun, I had pretty much directional light the whole afternoon and evening.
