Lightning storms

Siargao Lightning

Lightning storm above the water at Siargao, Philippines. Living in the Netherlands we don't get a lot of lightning storms. I've been trying to capture lightning for many years, but chances are rare and most turn out a disappointment. Either you're at the wrong location, end up in a massive rainwshower, nothing happens at all etc. It is one of the hardest things to shoot and most times I return without any good shots. But once you get them, it's even more rewarden. Here in Siargao there's a lot of lightning storms, although good ones (with nice bolts) are pretty hard to capture as well. But here I captured a few!

Siargao Lightning 5

Lightning storm behind the Cloud 9 boardwalk at Siargao, Philippines. Capturing lightning at the boardwalk was one of my missions since I got here 5 months ago. There's quite a lot of lightning at and around Siargao, but to capture it at the boardwalk is not an easy talk. I was at Harana's nice Food Bazar, but as I saw lightning appear nearby I drove home to pickup my gear and drive to the boardwalk. Here I had a comfortable and dry seat at the first tower, where I could shoot the other one as the lightning moved behind it. It was way to far away to get the shot I had in mind: clear visible lightning, a nice bolt. I captured a couple of bolts in the 2 hours of shooting, but they are too small and don't come out very well. Even cropping wouldn't give a much better result, so I left it at this composition.
