This is a photo sequence of 42 stacked shots, caught in Olympic Stadium, Athens during a severe thunderstorm. It only took me aproximatelly 30 minutes to capture 51 lightnings.

Nine shots were destroyed because of the excess brightness. See also the waterdrops from the drain pipe. They seem 'still' as they instlantly illuminated from the lightnings.

The answer to the crucial question: No... The big one didn't hit me on the head! It stroke a few hundred feet in front of me..

 

Canon EOS 550D, 28/6/2010 1:16 - 1:48, Shutter Speed 3.2 sec x 42 shots, Aperture Value 4.0, ISO 100, Lens Canon EF 15mm f/2.8, Focal Length 15.0 mm

That is a few hours of exposure probably with a filter as well.

50 consecutive exposures. Dunno the time-frame or lenses used.

Kulula should definitely get some of these and then partner with Visa/Mastercard (whoever does these adds)

 

Drive from Pretoria to OR Thambo - 1h49min

Finding Parking - 27min

Baggage check-in queue - 18min

Flight from JHB to CPT - 38seconds

 

The look on your face at 14G's - Priceless!
