We were already packed and having coffee in our car in the Chucuyo sector, in Lauca National Park, after an entertaining afternoon trekking and photos when we realized that there was lightning next to the Payachatas volcanoes, so I assembled equipment again to see if I could capture any interesting shots.

I tried some compositions and exposure times until I found something I liked. From there, I only waited to catch the lightning in that wonderful setting.

Always take advantage of the opportunities on which one has a hunch; after all, capturing the moments that nature gives you is the essence of landscape photography.
