Lightning hunter

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.
