Location
This photo is taken from balcony of my good friend in Brela (Croatia). The clouds and storm quickly comes above beautiful Biokovo mountainTime
It was about 19:30 , before sunset. The storm comes quickly above the mountain and was about 10 km far awayLighting
No, it was completly natural light. Mixed sunset light and stormy clouds lightsEquipment
Canon 6D, Canon 17-40/4L, 1/100 sec, 17mm, f/5,6, ISO 250Inspiration
Everytime when i'm in Brela and Dalmatia, i try to get some good picture of Biokovo mountain. Biokovo mountain is 1762 m high, and is fascinating that mountain drop down to the sea. The mountain is just few hundreds meter away from waterline. The most fascinating scenary is when stormy clouds break on mountain edgeEditing
When i shoot landscapes i allways shoot raw, so postprocessing is necessery. I slightly correct white balance, cotrast, levels, some colors (blue, green) and dodge/burn shadows and highlits. Sharpening and noise reduction are also standard procedure. If i correct single picture i usualy use Camera Raw and PhotoshopIn my camera bag
Canon 6D, Canon 17-40/4L, Sigma 70-200/2,8 EX, Sigma 50/1,4 Art, Canon speedlight, Manfrotto 055ProB tripod and 804RC2 head, Think tank Hardrive backpack. That's allways with me (but sometimes heavy to carry) :-)Feedback
Don't be lazy to take photos and always carry camera with you (sometimes i am lazy to). The weather is wonderful model. This scene appear in just few minutes. Rainy cloud with cloudburst and heavy shower appear suddenly above the mountain so i was lucky to take this capture.
