Photographer Chris Kotsiopoulos explains how he captured this beautiful photograph of lightning bolts in Greece: “An image sequence containing 70 lightning shots, taken on Ikaría island, Greece, during a severe thunderstorm that took place June 16, 2011. In order to make the sequence, I set the camera to a tripod taking 20-second shots. After 83 minutes I ended up with this wall of lightning!”
