Burj Thunder

Being at the right place and at the right time does matter. This is one of my favorite and very first photos of a lightning strike hitting the top of Burj Khalia. It was the longest night I witnessed where the strikes kept putting on their show and hitting, again and again, the top of the Burj Khalifa. An unforgettable night from the year 2015.

I am Waheed Akhtar, a digital director and fine art photographer from Dubai (UAE). I started doing photography in 2014. Having great eye and editing skills helped me to polish my skills in photography very quickly. In the first year of photography, I earned the Top 10 position in the Scott Kelby Global Photo Walk contest. My journey in long exposure photography started from there and I started practicing more on fine art photography. Since then, my photos won many international & local photography awards including photography magazine publications. I mostly shoot landscapes, nightscapes, cityscapes, architecture, and sometimes deep sky objects.
