Multiple CN Tower Strikes

Taken on August 24, 2012 – exactly 1 year ago during one of the biggest electrical storms I’ve ever seen in Toronto. The first Picture is a composite image of about 45min worth of lightning strikes on the CN Tower composed of 8 30sec exposures and the second is a single exposure of a MASSIVE strike. Typically I shoot lightning at around f/7 – f/8 but the lighting this night was so intense that I had to shoot it at f/14!

Camera: Canon 5D Mark II,  Focal Length: 24mm, Shutter Speed: 20 sec,  Aperture: f/14, ISO: 100
