Behind The Lens

Location

In the North of Italy, piedmont region, where great wines are produced

Time

It something past midday, the sun was high, but a storm was covering it

Lighting

Did several shot to get the perfect light breaking across the clouds, all freehand, all underexposed of 1 and half stops

Equipment

I've used my Nikon D810 and my Nikon 16-35 Lens, just freehand and a lot of patience

Inspiration

The weather, the sky was really heavy, but the clouds were moving fast, so, I thought it was a good opportunity to shoot something interesting

Editing

sure, i shoot RAW, then I definitely do post processing, I've corrected some vibrance, contrast and sharpness.

In my camera bag

Two bodies, a Nikon D850 and a Nikon D810 plus several wide angle lenses, and Irix 11mm f/4, an Irix 15mm f/2.8 a Nikkor 16-35 f/4 and a Nikon 70-200 f/4 for any extra shot ...

Feedback

hhe, what to say? Keep an eye to the weather forecast, know your zone, and hope to have some luck, similar shots aren't "everyday", they just happens when the weather allows that.
