Location
I work at a office on 14th floor in the heart of Moscow, and as I can't don't have much access to different sights I decided to capture the sky as much as possible. This picture is taken outside of one of the conference rooms right after a strong storm, it rained for two days after this beautiful moment. I was very blessed to be able to see it and I just couldn't not take take a picture.Time
It was somewhere after 5pm. Most of the staff has gone home and then is when I go around all the conference rooms for a check up and as there are big french windows i get to see the amazing sky each day and if lucky capture it too.Lighting
I have nothing down here, it's natural light, I only added some contrast and shadows but the colors and the light is natural. I was at the right time and place I guess, I was lucky.Equipment
I used my iPhone 6S, Unfortunately I don't have permission to have with me my Nikon as it's not allowed to have in the office, specially taking pictures. But the moment was taken and I am grateful I could capture something of that day as it was so incredible.Inspiration
The colors, the shapes and that it was so breathtaking. I just couldn't pass it by, everything was just right and as if it was waiting for me to take a shot and capture this moment.Editing
I added some contrast, shadows and a little exposure, that's it.In my camera bag
I usually take pictures with my Nikon 5100D but as most of the time I work at the office I'm not allowed to walk around and take pictures, so I use my iPhone and the point of my taking pictures is tell a story, touch hearts and minds and if my pictures cat speak to someone or anyone my goal is achieved and one day I will be able travel and take pictures with good quality and no limitations.Feedback
When you see something that takes your breath away or just something that catches your eye, take a picture of it, you can decide to keep it or not later but take a picture, with anything that you have, quality is important no doubt BUT the most important is what you have to say with your picture, the once who will appreciate will see the meaning and story first and that I think what actually matters.
