Behind The Lens

Location

Crowley,Tx

Time

It was around 4 or 5 o'clock pm.

Lighting

The sun was setting and then the storm came rolling in.

Equipment

I used a Canon xsi, I believe it was with an 18-55mm. Just handheld the camera.

Inspiration

The storm rolling in was huge, and I was already taking pics of it then I noticed the plane flying straight at it. Too good to pass up.

Editing

I toned down the brightness a bit and fixed the contrast, increased the saturation a little.

In my camera bag

I now carry a Canon T5i, 18-135 mm is lens and a 55-250 efs IS zoom lens

Feedback

Just make sure to have a wide apeture and the lighting is in the evening hours. All natural light.
