Honoured & Thank you! to I Shot It and the Judges Thorsten Overgaard and Birgit Krippner for identifying my picture: Lightning Strike ... "Up Close & Personal" for a "Mark of Excellence" "I was shocked to see and feel this lightning strike while sitting on my balcony … my heart nearly stopped … I kid you not …!"
I pressed the shutter at 17:40 on October 19, 2021 to capture this picture, during an amazing tropical storm over Plasa Damas, Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The final image I captured with my Leica Q (Typ 116) set to: SS_1/250 sec, A_f6.3, ISO_100, Manual Focus and Centre Weighted-Average metering.
My edit for this competition and Limited Edition Print was done in Adobe LrC and Ps.
