Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken outside my city in Alberta CanadaTime
My photo was taken at sunsetLighting
There was a thunderstorm warning and the skies were dark and stormy, but it gave a nice reflection with the sun setting.Equipment
I used an Olympus E3 with a 50-200mm lens.Inspiration
I was actually doing a bit of storm chasing and i knew the sunset would be spectacular. It always us when there is a storm on the Alberta prairies.Editing
I did some post-processing on Aperture, as well as Nik Software HDR program.In my camera bag
I always carry Olympus. Now I usually carry the OMD EM1, swutching to a mirrorless system with a 25-80mm, 90mm, and the 80-300mm equivalent.Feedback
If you want to capture something similar, don't be afraid to bare the elements of weather. Sunset or just before dusk is a great time to shoot. In order to get this much in focus, use an aperture of at least f.5.
