Lightning strikes the Head of Christ the Redeemer on the Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil on February, 10 2023 at 6h55 PM. I've been trying to capture this moment for over a year. Just in this attempt, it took more than 500 long exposure shots (70mm f/8 13" ISO 100) taken in sequence uninterruptedly for more than 2 hours to get this one successful shot.
