Location
On a farm across from my house in Powhatan, Virginia.Time
The Photo was taken at dusk as a Storm was approching from the west.Lighting
Well I had to manually adjust the Shutter Speed to allow for the darkening skys. Started shooting at about an 8 sec exposure and ended with a 30 sec exposure over about a 30 Minute time frame.Equipment
This was taken with a Nikon D5200, a 18 x 55mm Kit lens on a tripod.Inspiration
I love storms and Lightning, so I decided to try shooting the Storm.Editing
Well this shot is a 4 shot stacked image. With just a touch of color adjustment.In my camera bag
At the time a D5200 and Kit lenses. But As of now I have a Nikon D800, Nikon D5200, Tamron 24-70mm f2.8, Sigma 70x200mm f2.8, Sigma 2x converter, Tamron 10x24 f3.5, Tamron 90mm 2.8 Macro 3 Nikon SB700 Speedlights...etc, etc.....Feedback
As this was one of my first attemps basically timing of Mother Nature is the main concern and learning to make adjustments on the fly. Good Luck and Good Shooting!
