a lightning storm in Bangkok

Storm Watch

Hoping to capture some lightning pictures, Your Shot contributor Saranya Chalermchai sat with camera in hand on the 21st floor of a building as a storm passed over Bangkok. "At one point, I saw a little light coming from the clouds, and at that exact moment I pressed the shutter," she says. "The little [bit of] lightning had already expanded, giving me this amazing shot."
