We had a rare thunderstorm in Lebanon yesterday night and I took some shots.

This one is take from “Ain Saade”, a village about 600meters above sea level from my balcony. The city that you can see is Beirut, Lebanon’s capital.

My camera was secured on a tripod and each exposure was about 25 to 30seconds with white balance set to tungsten to compensate for light pollution of the city.

This one is a combination of 3 shots each having 1 to 3 bolts in different places and merged in Photoshop using the “lighten” blending mode. After that mainly S-curves to increase contrast.

If interested you can check this tutorial for tips about thunder photography.
