Behind The Lens

Location

In a grass field above Montreux, besides the chalet of the "Ski Club LAUSANNE"

Time

Around 9-10PM

Lighting

Arrived at the chalet for a party with friends a first storm just finished. Some first lightning were visible from Geneva direction and our place was still dry. I took a few pics to find the best settings and let the camera out in 30s pictures burst for 30 minutes.

Equipment

D750, tamron 24-70, tripod

Inspiration

Feel the nature!

Editing

This is the assembly of three picture, thus 90 seconds at the pick of the storm progression

In my camera bag

An additional Nikon 70-200 2.8 + cobra

Feedback

Be at the right place. This one was pure luck, but some smartphone application let see where lightnings come
