Amateur Photographer Bertrand Kulik captures an amazing exposure of the iconic Eiffel Tower. In this shot, you see the tower lit up at night with it's new lights; but in the background, it's being lit up by a dramatic bolt of lighting. It is in a position that it seems to be striking the tower at that very second. Bertrand, who lives just miles from the tower, decided to take out is camera and grab some shots once he noticed the storm approaching.
Capturing lighting usually becomes a goal of every Photographer at one point in time, but usually you see a streak in an empty sky. If this image did not have the lighting in the background, it would still be a strong image. Though the image is a few years old, it has lately gained much notoriety, recently winning the Office du Tourisme de Paris competition. It will also be featured in the "Lumieres celestes, lumieres des hommes" exhibit. Bertrand stated "I quickly grabbed my camera and put it on a tripod by the window in the hope I could get an action picture – but I never thought I would get such a magnificent shot."
