Shot Notes
These are the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Lightening is hard to shot during the day. You need a very long shutter speed to stand a chance of catching a strike. But when you point at the sky it does not take long to overexpose even with the smallest aperture. This shot was taken through the window of a moving bus so I relied on this technique to get my lightening.

My first thought was that it was a composite. But no. It’s for real. That’s an amazing capture. There’s something very iconic and new age about it… It wouldn’t surprise me if this image didn’t end up all over the internet. It’s that striking! (No pun intended)
