This is an awesome picture I found online where a photographer left his exposure on for over 350 seconds to capture all of these lightning strikes. There is a lot of Gestalt principles in this photograph that make you think if he was thinking of all of these at the same time when he took the picture.
The first one I will talk about is similarity, I would partner up all of those lightning strikes coming from the sky, you can see the similarity in the color and texture of the lightning because it is not like anything else in the picture.
There is some closure in this picture with the horizontal line of the water to the sky, you can see that it breaks up a little bit where the railing and the two lighthouses are but you just think of it as going straight across when you see it for the first time.
The contrast on this is beautiful, without the lightning this is be the black of night with only the lighthouses being seen. But with this exposure you are able to see the white lightning light up the sky and even in the clouds you can see some of them lighting up ready so spit down some more lightning.
Even though there is a lot going on it feels peaceful just looking at this picture.
