Huge thunderstorms are common in the Amazon. I setup my camera on the deck of Uacari Floating Lodge and started taking shots.
Over 200 shots later, one of them actually caught this bolt of lightening right down the middle of the river.
I had the camera set on about 4-5 second exposure time. I'm shocked this actually worked and now I really want to try this in other places.
