This image was taken in summer 2021. This place is located only 15 minutes drive from my home. The weather forecast had announced thunderstorm over Lake Geneva that evening. Right after work, I packed my camera and tripod and headed to the lake. I had one specific image in mind when I arrived at the lake. I wanted to capture a thunder light with the clouds moving. To get that image, I made a long exposure shot. The camera needed to stay open for more than a minute so it was necessary to use a tripod. But the challenge was the storm as it was coming over us very quickly. At the end, I had less than 20 minutes to capture it!
