Behind The Lens

Location

This is the simplest spot for taking photos ever... the balcony in my flat. However the view is quite good - open space, the bridge and lots of green

Time

This is obviously night right in the middle of crazy thunder storm over my city

Lighting

Oh yes there were many of lightings :)

Equipment

I have used tripod and made dozen of expositions without moving the camera.

Inspiration

I just love the harsh weather, heavy rains, lightings and dense clouds. You can always find some nice photo in such scenery.

Editing

I have done simple processing and composed final shot from two or three different expositions. There were much more of lightings photos but did not look as good as those that I have used

In my camera bag

This was wide zoom from Tokina (11-16mm) attached to my Sony a77 camera, mentioned before tripod. I have manually triggered all of photos. Usually I carry also lots of flash lights for light painting shots, Tamron 17-50mm and Sony 35mm for portraits. Recently I use lots of manual lenses, especially Helios 85mm

Feedback

Be patient don't move your camera after you compose your shot, trigger one photo after another - with long exposure (30") and not too wide aperture (otherwise lightings will burn out the shot) you will finally score some nice shots
