It is brewing, coming in from behind the right side margin (Southeast).

Location
This one was made on the beach of our favorite fish restaurant in Radozda village. The storm was brewing, but we actually waited until the first raindrops fell before moving to the roofed area nearby. So the trick is in having well-determined reserve positions... :)Time
Date/Time of the Original is-was 08-May-2010 @ 18:15:36Lighting
Sure, but I'm afraid it will not be of much use, as the exact lighting circumstances can never repeat. So, Shutter Speed was 1/160 sec, f/2.8, ISO 100, 0.00 eV, Metering Mode was Pattern, Flash on Auto (Did not fire), and focal length was 6.2 mm .Equipment
The camera at hand was a Canon PowerShot D10, and it was shot out of hand, with no added gear.Inspiration
The inspiration... it is I happen to have at all times, but here the very contrast between smooth object (the glass and wine both) and the ominous backdrop. Also the colors looked quite in harmony for the shot.Editing
I think I have cropped the photo somewhat, and maybe (can't remember) raised the contrast a tad. Nothing else was required.In my camera bag
For decades already I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. It is more than enough to take along whatever I want or need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually stay home or in the car, to keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The tripod has its permanent place in the car. My vest pockets usually contain two cameras. Regardless of which is the "main" camera, one of those is always some waterproof model, if the weather plays up or when I find something interesting in the shallows. Nowadays I usually use Nikon P900 or Sony RX100m7, and the waterproof backup is an Olympus TG-2 or a Paralenz DiveCam. Other vest pockets keep the spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small camera clamp which can be fixed to almost anything. In many cases this can replace a tripod. The vest has deep pockets for longer lenses, and these usually hold a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate - if I plan on being out for the whole day. I always pack about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. Much can be improvised with these if need be. Recently I made it even easier, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch; one variable-volume McKinley. In the Outdoors, simplicity and comfort are my most important requirements!Feedback
Same old, same old: Have a camera at hand anywhere and at all times. All the rest will come together, never fear. But if you do not have a camera at the right time - you'll be sorry, because it's always easier to show something than to explain it!
