Stomp contributor Vincent shared a jaw-dropping photo showing multiple lightning strikes across the sky in Singapore.
The picture was taken at Circuit Road, and consists of 49 shots over two hours.
Vincent, who also posted his work on Facebook, said:
"It's shot at Circuit Road. But it's visible mainly from the central area of Singapore if there is no blockage of view.
"Currently, it's towards the end of monsoon season so there are stronger lightning storms.
"Once you spot lightning, just point your camera in the direction on a very stable tripod with a wired remote. It is not advisable to move the camera at all. Otherwise, the image will be blur.
"This photo is a total of 49 shots over two hours. There is software that allows you to stack the image on top of one another and if you get enough strikes, you get a image like this.
"I have a video on my profile to show the details on the different strikes and how it forms this picture.
"A wide angle lens would also help capture a bigger field of view."
Vincent's work has also been featured by Canon Singapore.
