I took this image of the sun shining through the clouds driving home with my wife after a rain storm. I could see the clouds and the sun behind them off in the distance and I couldn't help but find a place to pull over and luckily I had my camera in the truck.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Southern Missouri.

Time

I took this image around five in the afternoon.

Lighting

I feel like the image says it all about the lighting. It was absolutely perfect and beautiful.

Equipment

I took this photo with my Canon EOS 7D using a Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM. One of my favorite lenses for sure, this lens stays on my camera pretty much all the time.

Inspiration

I don't think anything really inspired me other than the fact that I was driving home from a doctor's appointment with my wife and I saw the Sunrays shinning from behind the clouds, which is something I always try and capture anytime I can. And I was just lucky enough to have my camera in the truck with me.

Editing

I don't ever do much post processing to be honest. However I did use a photoshop preset filter to enhance the exposure a small amount.

In my camera bag

In my bag I carry my trusty Canon EOS 7D, two Pentax K100's (one for color and one for black and white film), DJI Mavic Mini Drone, Canon 24-70mm f/4L IS, Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS, Canon 17-85mm f/4 IS, Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 VC, a Manfrotto tripod, shutter release with remote, various ND filters, variable ND filters, extra batteries, chargers, flashlight and two lenseballs.

Feedback

I would just say, always keep your camera with you. You just never know what you might see, especially up in the clouds. I always catch myself looking up into the sky and looking for amazing cloud formations to shoot. I'm always pointing them out to those around me, it's just something that has become habit since I became a photographer.
