There is a very cool bridge in Hong Kong called Tsing Ma and it connects several local islands. It looks absolutely fantastic! The only problem is that it’s not easy to get there, there is no metro station nearby and the bus connection is not very good. So I was very lucky that I had friends in Hong Kong and my friends had a car and a free day. Having known about my passion for bridges they drove me there and even hiked all the way up a mountain to get the most stunning view to photograph. Many thank to them! Or how do they say that: 唔該 !

What do I need to catch a lightning:
1. Patience. When 100 of dark pictures without lightning are already shot not to give up but to continue making 101-st picture where at last the lightning will show up.
2. Steady nerves. When the thunder is so loud that it blocks the ears and the lightning flashes so near that it blinds the eyes not to run away to hide in the corner but to go towards the natural phenomenon putting in front the most precious thing – camera.
3. Tripod, remote control or shutter release cable. All or each of them can be invaluable assistants but without the first 2 components will unlikely work.
This beauty I caught recently at Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong. The weather in that part of the world is favorable for lightnings and an open space like the harbor is good for hunting for this bright phenomenon.
