In July of 2009, I had just arrived in Paris and went to go see the Eiffel tower. I sat down in the Champ de Mars and set up my tripod and camera to take a nice sunset timelapse of the tower. After the time-lapse had begun, I quickly noticed that a storm was moving in and figured that I would get a chance to capture a bolt of lightning hitting the tower. I figured I was safe with my tiny metal tripod on the grass….at least until the rain moved it.
I was able to capture a few bolts directly hitting the tower and had to run for cover when the skies opened up and there was an absolute downpour.
