So...lightning storms here in Singapore are pretty uncommon...especially dry ones...

And this was one instance when I was ''lucky'' enough to catch one.

Small bolt...but still...it made my effort kinda worth..since my hit rate was usually 0.

Composition-wise I think the shot is OK. There are a few things that bother me about it but that is just opinion.

Most amzing though, as you said.. was the fact that you caught it. I have always wondered how. Are you just taking pictures as quickly as possible and hoping you catch it?

Easier way to catch lightning is set up a tripod and use a long exposure.

Nice, i'd straighten the horizon, and darken it overall, to give it an end of the world something .

nice capture ;)
