Last night, a huge storm hit the Gaspé region in eastern Canada where I live. Normally during a downpour I would stay home, but I decided to tell my girlfriend, ''hey let's go storm hunting'', And off we went ! Being in the downpouring rain, I had to find a solution to capture the lightning. So i setup my Nikon D750 with my Gitzo tripod in the backseat of my car, @f5.6, iso 400, bulb mode, connected VIA wifi to my cellphone to trigger. It was a driveby setup as I had to park sideways into a driveway and place the angle by being contorsionist to get to the backseat. ( Here is the setup! https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13781951_1758341247714679_2307198... )
With the angle i was trying to get a powerful image of the statue looking out into a powerful storm !
Here is an explanation of the giant statue in my hometown !
