Behind The Lens

Location

I was on my way to the airport in Vienna, as I saw in front of me huge thunderstorm clouds. I could not stop on the highway, so I went to next parking lot close to Leobersdorf in the south of Vienna (about 30km). Here I picked my camera and took this shot. Then I had to hurry, as my plane wouldn’t wait and I made it.

Time

It was ist about 4pm

Lighting

No

Equipment

Canon Powershot 50

Inspiration

If I see such situations I need to take a shot, even if I get into hurry.

Editing

Just a bit intensifying contrast

In my camera bag

I moved later to an Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mark II and have the camera mostly with me.

Feedback

Clouds like that with such lightning need some luck, as it should be afternoon light and the sun should be behind the clouds
