Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken just outside of Fort Collins, Colorado

Time

I took this picture in the late afternoon.

Lighting

There were a lot of storms in the area. I lucked out on the lighting.

Equipment

This was taken with a Nikon D5200 camera.

Inspiration

Editing

Minimal post-processing done through Picasa.

In my camera bag

Feedback

Just be ready for the unexpected. I was driving down the highway and I watched the clouds. It was fun.
