So, there was a little bit of a storm in Bangkok this evening.
I was working late when the storm arrived overhead but was soon setting up a camera on each of the west-facing and north-facing balconies in my apartment. Such was the storm’s ferocity that the window panes shook and thunder cracked the air like gunshots. At this time of year, I keep a camera mounted on a tripod with a cable-release attached in readiness for storms, which can pass as quickly as they arrive.
The lightning strikes came with such a frequency, fracturing the clouds and followed by echoing thunder, that each of my thirty-second exposures captured a bolt of energy searing the Bangkok night sky.
Gavin they are amazing shots and make me homesick for Bangkok i miss the storms
Sensei- u r the master! Do u ever sleep?

Great shots. Wonder what ISO and Fstop you had. I tried the same with ISO400,4sec and F16 and most of my pics were too bright! Guess need to check in the books again. Yes, what a storm that was y’day night! ,-)
Andy, if you hover over the images, you’ll see the EXIF data. Most of these were taken at f/22 for 30 seconds at ISO400.
Deb, thank you. x
thanks Gav, very kind and nice feature! Will study your EXIF’s. Cheers/io 4 now
Cracking shots, Gav.
No pun intended… of course.
