The photo \u201cIt came in gusts\u201d marks a time in my life, in which many positive changes happened. (It marks also a time in which I invented pathetic titles for my photos \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n

At that time there were many positive private developments after a rather dark phase.<\/p>\n

Interestingly enough this awareness of life is reflected in this photo, although it was not intended. The photo arouses rather intuitively.<\/p>\n

The story<\/h3>\n

At that marvelous early summer day a violent thunderstorm approached.<\/p>\n

With a dramatic changing of the weather there is always the chance for a special photo to be taken.<\/p>\n

I jumped on my motorcycle and drove into the fields.<\/p>\n

At a young cornfield I stopped intuitively.<\/p>\n

The lighting conditions were really exciting. I composed the best frame of this field for approximately one hour.<\/p>\n

Under these sultriness thunderstorm air conditions suddenly a backwards coming wind was noticeable to me. The wind reached the airs of the ??rye and played with it. The play of the ears reminded me of undulations.<\/p>\n

I had the idea to catch exactly these undulations. For this I screwed a grey filter in front of the lens. It gave me 2,5 sec for a time exposure that drew the ear in a diffuse way.<\/p>\n

Now the only thing to do was waiting for the right light and gust.<\/p>\n

Special light = Special photo<\/h3>\n

Here at the coast a thunderstorm mostly approaches against the wind.<\/p>\n

My calculation came up: Dark clouds were gathering in front of me, beginning to cover the sun, while the wind constantly whistles from my back.<\/p>\n

If a thick cloud covers the sun a special light is appearing in the transition.<\/p>\n

That is valid in particular for thunderstorm clouds.<\/p>\n

And a special light mostly results in a special photo!<\/p>\n

I did not pull the trigger very often, because the thunderstorm approached fast.<\/p>\n

Tricky were the changes of the light conditions. I had to control the exposure all of the time.<\/p>\n

More by accident I discovered the attraction of an small underexposure about minus 2\/3 stop. It gave the final picture intensity.<\/p>\n

The thunderstorm was violent! On the return trip the rain penetrated my motorcycle clothes up to the pants. But it didn\u2018t matter \u2013 I got wet all of the time.<\/p>\n

At home there were some contrast changes and tone corrections in the post processing of the photo. Nothing special.<\/p>\n

The photo is a timeless piece of emotion to me that will not bore after all those years.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed this making of. If you have any questions please write them in the comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
