Some hectic storms recently!

📸: Christo Smith 🙌

What an insane storm tonight! Some of the most intense and incredible lightning I have ever seen!

I managed to get this view on top of Bellaire's Centre in Northriding. This is looking at Johannesburg on the left, Northcliff next to that then out towards the West Rand and Northgate towards the right.

I originally started shooting out towards JHB CBD, but the storm was fast approaching on my right, so I changed directions and shot that way. Eventually the lightning was right on top of me and it started hailing so I had to stop. I love what I do!!!

This is a panorama of the first shots on the left, and then the lightning I caught on the right.

I hope that you guys like it!

This is a composite image made from several exposures which have been overlaid to create a single image showcasing all the strikes I managed to capture.

We have a magnificent country and I love everything it has to offer.

I am Proudly South African.

I used my amazing 6D Mark ii and a Canon 17-40mm.
