God's Finger Painting

I saw a sunrise last month like none I'd ever seen. The way the clouds were silhouetted took my breath away.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took it at my home. I live in the country surrounded by farmland.

Time

I just woke up at 6am. I went into the kitchen to start my coffee and my jaw dropped.

Lighting

God created his own lighting. I love the way the sun casted silhouetted shadows on the clouds and the vibrant array of colors was absolutely astonishing and breath taking.

Equipment

No equipment. Just your regular old smart phone!!!!

Inspiration

I believe the best photos are in the moment. Ex. When I am taking a picture of people, I tell them to say cheese or something funny, but I will take twenty pictures, while they wonder why I haven't put down the camera. I never use the first picture shot, and the only one of what they thought it would be. I believe the first picture is fake. Everything is forced. However the pictures after the first shot, are real. People are now relaxed and showing their true self. It's the moment... you catch the expression, the beauty of something natural. So for God's finger painting, the second I saw that sunrise out my kitchen window, I had to capture that moment. The moment where sky simply took your breath away, and you feel the warmth of God's creation. So I ran outside and took like ten pictures. I even yelled for my fiancee to come look, because in my 38 years, I had never seen a sunrise that beautiful.

Editing

None at all

In my camera bag

For now my cellphone camera, but I would love my own nikon camera. One day I will be able to afford it. For now living takes all my money.

Feedback

Be in the moment. Anyone can take a picture, but don't take just one, take many, and watch how the photos become art!!!!
