Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken during the winter season in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Clouds are rare in the middle east since most of the time it is always summer. Winter season in Abu Dhabi is the best time to go out and shoot and capture the most magnificent architecture on their rare weather background.Time
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is one of the most photographs architecture of tourists. But to capture the mosque in a different way takes a lot of patience, effort, and right timing. Since it was winter I stood there and waited for the sunset while the clouds overshadowed the magnificent mosque.Lighting
The shot was taken in 5 panels panoramic and stitch in Adobe Photoshop. I had to shoot a slower shutter but at the same time, I should have enough time to shoot the next frame without losing the drama and color behind it.Equipment
I used a Canon 6D, with 50mm lens attached and a sturdy tripod.Inspiration
I love taking an image on their rare light and mood. I love sunset and clouds moving above an important architecture.Editing
Yes, I did if I have to. In this scenario, it was processed since I took it on panoramic technique.In my camera bag
If my shoot for the day is planned, I normally put a fast lens like 24-70mm. But one of my favorites is to use my 50mm on a landscape.Feedback
Sunset and blue hour are the most magnificent time to shoot landscape. More patience and planning is required. I have visited this place not just once and I have seen the clouds moving from other directions to the other. So visiting the place not just once at the same time is very important because the position of the clouds and sun sometimes changes.
