Photographer’s Note

The monsoonal storms in Yangon are an awesome show of nature's power. This storm was over Yangon's most iconic structure, Shwedagon Pagoda.

Hello, nice photo well-captured. What is the technique to capture lightenings like that? I like the clouds in the sky and the yellow stupa has a nice place in the composition. tfs. Julien

Hi Dale

Hi there,
I've always tried to capture lightning like this but never managed to... well done, framing is great.

Beautiful shot

Hello Dale,
A very impressive lightning, exceptionally well captured by you. And you certainly found a nice spot to catch it. The Shwedagon stupa looks great against the dark clouds.
Regards,
Gert

Great shot Dale. Excellent timing. Your good crop emphasizes the immensity of the sky, which overwhelms and dwarfs the pagoda in this shot. An unusual and interesting view of Shwe dagon.
Keep them coming!

Hi Dale!

This is a very unusual view on Shwedagon, at least for me! And I am impressed by the way you have captured so clearly the lightening. The effect is striking! The composition is excellent, with all the attention for the sky, with a tiny portion of earth. Congratulations!
