Lake Magic is located in Western Australia, about 300 km southeast of Perth. It is a strange little body of water– a naturally occurring salt lake with gypsum minerals at its base and a sandy, circular beach surrounding it. Due to the high salt concentration of the water it is impossible for you to sink, hence its name! I did some photography there in the evening and decided to return for sunrise. When I arrived at the lake it was still dark and I could see some lightning in the distance. Right at the moment when the sun had begun to rise a fast moving storm barreled straight towards me. I could see the clouds rolling in the sky. I hoped to catch a frame with some lightning and stepped down to f19 to increase the exposure to a few seconds. Then I took frame after frame while the storm moved into my direction. It was an eerie sight. When the storm arrived the reflection was gone and I running for cover. I had one frame with a thunderbolt.
Sometimes it only takes ONE! Glad you stayed long enough to get it!
Voter #9 just rated this photo 1star. Some feedback on the quality would have been appreciated. This wasn't the case therefore I assume the obvious.
