Diwali lights play across the sky
Kuala Lumpur: This film has left a response all over the world. After watching the film, no one can hold back the surprise. Lightning is happening across the sky of Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia! This also happens, really? It is becoming difficult to believe one's own eyes. Unbelievable as it may be, this picture is absolutely true. There is little photoshop manipulation, the rest is nature's play.
The picture is a picture of a thunderstorm in the sky of Kuala Lumpur city. Actually, it's not a picture. A compilation of 32 separate images taken over 40 minutes. And that's what captures the terrifyingly beautiful form of this amazing thunder storm. The amazing photo or photos were captured by Malaysian photographer Fendi Gan. However, Fendi claimed that he had no credit in taking the picture.
Fendi Gann told Newsweek, “I just set my camera to interval shooting mode (taking a series of pictures with a few pauses) and then stitched the images together in Photoshop. We have a lot of thunderstorms here most of the year. But this storm was different. For, the sky was very clear and lightning struck frequently.”
Due to its tropical climate and geographical location, Malaysia experiences frequent thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are not rare. Especially the Klang Valley, where this photo was taken, is well known for thunderstorms. An average of 240 days of thunderstorms occur in this valley. Fendi Gan said, “I believe the Klang Valley has the most lightning in the world. "
Lightning is caused by an electrical charge imbalance between the cloud and the surface or between two cloud layers during a storm. Cloud-to-cloud friction creates static electricity. During thunderstorms, air currents rise upwards and water particles fall downwards. As a result of this process, positive charge accumulates at the top of the cloud. And, the negative charge accumulates at the lower end of the cloud and near the surface. When an excessive amount of charge accumulates, the water particles floating in the air act as conductors of that charge. This is how lightning is formed.
