Night photography: Lightning over abandoned mining ruins

Reuben’s House — by Troy Paiva
During a full moon road trip last month, Troy Paiva and I got caught in an intense storm while shooting at the mining ruins of Kincaid, Nevada. As the lightning got closer we pointed our cameras in the direction of the strikes, and Troy made the fantastic image above. A composite of multiple 4 minute exposures in order to blend the best take of the flashlight painting on the house with the lightning strike in the sky.

Yeah, this was an amazing catch. Glad no one was harmed in the making of this photo!
