Last night there was an amazing display of lightning and I ended up at the Palm Beach Inlet to photograph it. While shooting the lightning I noticed the pump house was looking pretty good with these clouds breezing by. It was hard for me to switch lenses to get the shot. I had my 400mm on for photographing the lightning strikes in the distance. I was afraid when I switched lenses an amazing bolt would fly through the sky. The lightning eventually slowed down a little bit and I took that opportunity to capture this single exposure HDR image.
