Location
This photo was taken at the Los Angeles Airport.Time
I took this right around magic hour (about 5 pm) when the light is just right and then the rain came pounding down hard. It may have delayed my flight but it allowed me to capture what I thought was the beauty of the rain streaking down the windown with the sun going down in the background.Lighting
I thought the lighting was just stunning. I love natural light like this and to me it was so beautiful to see the last brilliant vestiges of the sun fighting with the dimmness that the sudden rain storm brought, to create a ceratin type of beauty that I think can only be created by nature.Equipment
This was taken with an Iphone 6 plus with no flash.Inspiration
I am always on the lookout for interesting shots and interesting light. I remember thinking at first that the rain that started to pound down on the tarmac outside was going to delay my flight meaning I would be home late but then I saw the sun start to push through as the rain continued to come down and I got up and moved to the window cause to me the juxtaposition of the sun fighting through the rain was stunning and I wanted to capture the beauty that nature was creating in an environment that isn't normally seen as beautiful.Editing
No, I'm just starting out so haven't gotten into using different post processes yet.In my camera bag
To be honest, just my iphone 6 plus but I now have a DSLR camera that I am just starting to use.Feedback
My only advice is to trust your eye and and play with different shots and different angles. I normally taken three or four photos of the same thing before I decide which photo I like the best. And the last piece of advice is just be aware of what's around you, you never know what you might find and what might make a great photo.
