The Perfect Storm

Gallery: LandscapePosted August 12, 2016250 views9 comments

A very dramatic sunset scene on the plains of the Mara North Conservancy. Heavy rain was pouring down while the sun was fighting it's way through a gap in the sky to create this magical moment. 5 bracketed exposures were captured on a tripod and blended in PS

Canon EOS 1DX - EF16-35mm f/4.0L IS USM - 18mm - 5 bracketed exposures - ISO 100 <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

I really like this image. There is nothing that I would change. I can feel the storm coming and lone tree adds a great point of interest. Just a great image.

This is outstanding. Great comp with lots of drama. Only suggestion is to pull some of the blue out of the clouds.

Oh, that is pretty sublime, Mario! The rain, the colored sky and the lone tree make this such a compelling story!
