Share a photo tip: Learn to observe the light

Example of a photoshoot you had that people would be interested to hear and give it a title that will make people want to know more! It was hard, but in the end I made it I reached the top. The landscape is breathtaking, the wind is very strong and pushes the rain clouds from here. The storm is coming, lightning and thunder are getting closer, it’s time to go for cover. It rains continuously, rivers of water are created along the path that make it impossible to return.

There are only a few hours until sunset, but it seems like deep night the sky is black. After an hour, the first hopes of light arrive, the sky clears, the wind sweeps away the clouds and here comes the sun that colors the sky, the sky almost catches fire and was one of the most beautiful sunsets of my life.
