Description The Photo

I took this was nothing special as at the beginning there were no clouds in the sky at all. I just got out scouting an area outside the city I live in. As I parked my car at the location, some clouds were popping into the view on my right. The were huge, white and gray. It was really unexpected. As the sun was on it's way down, and the clouds were on the right - moving to the left, I knew they are going to cover the sun and collide. The only question was 'will clouds be fast enough?'.

When it happened, I was shocked by the effect the sun created and how the scene transformed rapidly from truly boring, into breathtaking landscape.

I used hard grad ND filter to keep the contrast between the sky and foreground.

svakako,nije sve u opremi,dzaba je dati svu opremu svijeta nekom ko je idiot bez talenta,a ako umjetnik ima dobru opremu i razvijen talent,ovakve fotografije se radjaju kao remek-djela

Amazing shot!
Yet another reason to get a hard ND grad filter. Landscapes are a bit difficult without them
