21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Lightening Fork Triology

Probably once in a lifetime photograph for me personally. Im beyond happy and excited I was able to capture this one. I tracked the storm that night for over an hour and predicted the path of it in order to capture the lightening behind the first offshore windfarm in US. everything else is bonus, especially capturing three bolts. Plus composition and right exposure. I used manual setting, long exposure and tripod.
