[Carruthers]

Dramatic clouds rumble over Johannesburg in a composite image made of dozens of photographs. Alexius van der Westhuizen, a 46-year-old real-estate agent, captured the dramatic thunderstorm that illuminated the night sky as hundreds of lightning bolt in full force. The image is a composition of dozens of photographs taken during three-hour sessions over the course of the summer. Lightning strikes are layered over each other to give the impression the sky is erupting with dozens of bolts at once.
