Morning in Tuscany -- action shooting?
« on: April 27, 2009, 09:33:40 am »

One morning I was driving through Tuscany on my usual morning photo hunt, I came across this rainbow. It was extending right at the edge of this wonderful Italian village and I had trees obscuring the view! I drow fast ahead and about one minute later I got the chance to quickly stop and jump out of the car and get this shot. 30 seconds later the rainbow was gone.  As I remember it I even had to change lens to my 70-200 f/4L IS (btw. my favorite landscape lens). I chose this vertical composition as to have the rainbow across the dark sky, only regretting that one minute earlier the rainbow was much brighter. The weather was really my favorite: A weather forecast that promisses everything, sun, clouds and rain!

Don't tell me that landscape photography doesn't have the sense of urgency and thrill that action shooting have

Nice. It is very similar to a Galen Rowell image. The title escapes me, and I'll have to look it up.

The destination is our goal but it’s the journey we experience

Wow, stunning photo. You're entirely right, sometimes landscape photography is a race for good light…
Congrats

I don't think my image can quite compete here

Well, Tuscany has not -  yet - risen to the status of Tibet. Don't despair though...

It doesn't matter, it is still fine image.
