Behind The Lens
Location
Picture was taken in Kuhtai in Tirol AustriaTime
Taken on the 3rd September at around 14:30Lighting
On the day there were clouds moving in and some snow showers mixed with rainEquipment
Camera was the Canon 5D Mark IV with the 17-40mm lens. I used a Pol filter with grad filters all set up on a tripod.Inspiration
I was on a hike up the mountain and on my way back almost to the car I had to cross the stream and the clouds pulled back at the right time to reveal the mountain in the background so I used the opportunity to get the shot.Editing
The usual post processing by adding some contrast, opening up the shadows. It was a pretty flat image but with a touch of Orten effect in PS and some dodge and burn I came to the result I liked.In my camera bag
Usually I have my Sony a7r when hiking but the Canon was new and I wanted to test it. The Canon gear I use for events mainly and the Sony for landscapes because it is so small and light.Feedback
Bad weather does not mean you will get bad pictures... it is usually the opposite. Bad weather gives you drama in the sky and some special moods when taking pictures.
