Electrical Storm over the Caribbean
The first day of our Mexican Riviera vacation, insomnia caused my husband and I to walk to the beach to watch sunrise to find this billowing thundercloud on the horizon. I had only brought a minimal kit of one lens and a gorilla-pod, so I found a flat location on the rocks and set up my camera using this old pier as a foreground element, continuously taking long exposures in the hopes of capturing some lightning. I missed many dramatic lightning bolts between takes and when fumbling with my settings, but managed to get one small bolt as the electrical storm began to die down and as the rising sun cast subtle crepuscular rays in the sky.
