Behind The Lens

Location

I take this photo in Sardinia (Italy), Cala Girgolu beach.

Time

At 10.30 PM.

Lighting

I saw the flashes of lightning from my house, so I just rushed the car to the sea, approaching the storm as much as possible: an amazing view! To shoot the whole scene I had to make a pano.

Equipment

Canon Eos 5d II + EF 17 mm L

Inspiration

I was always fascinated by storms. This was the right time!

Editing

Yes: stitching, curves, color correction and denoiser.

In my camera bag

Canon Eos 5d II + various lenses and filters.

Feedback

In this case: luck and patience! :-)
