My first successful lightning shoot Did not actually plan for it but conditions were ideal when i arrived. It was really exhilarating watching the thunderstorm unfold in person.

Never in my wildest dream would I think that shooting the Milky way was possible in Singapore, that is until I came across a post by a local photographer, Justin Ng, where he showed that it was technically possible even in our heavily light polluted country. Like many I was intrigued, and maybe just a little skeptical, but I told myself that until proven otherwise I would take it as plausible. One day, my friend showed me an image he shot that showed a hint of the Milky way, and I saw another image posted by another friend that clearly showed that it was possible, and this piqued my curiosity. Luckily for me, my friend had been experimenting for quite awhile and was kind enough to teach me what he knew. Once I knew what to do, I waited, and waited for the optimal conditions to present themselves.
This morning at around 1am, I picked up my stuff and headed to location, after getting some sample shots, I came home to check on them, once I realized I was on to something, I rushed out again for a second attempt. It was close to 3am when I finally revealed the Milky way in post production, it was subtle, but it was there, I continued with the 2nd round of post production once I woke up, doing everything I could to draw out the details, and at long last it is completed. The satisfaction level of this image is none that I have experienced before, my beat up D90 has been pushed to its absolute limits and pushed even more in post, granted, the resulting image is quite possibly noisier than a plane taking off, and my post processing technique is still pretty much trial and error based, even so, this opens up so many possibilities and I would never ever see our skies the same way again.
