we got a beautiful rainy day
so I decided to drive up to the mountains
I was looking for some atmosphere and I think I'm gonna get it
this rain is gonna be on and off, happening all day long
I've been working so far on two compositions of those two roads
the one I like the most is the one that is down there
that I hope you can see
the mountain in the background looks amazing
and it's been, you know, disappearing and appearing again
because the clouds keep changing
keep rolling in and rolling out
I think I'm gonna be here for a little bit, for a while
waiting for more compositions to show up
but what a beautiful day we're gonna have here
I think we're gonna make plenty of good images
and I hope you'll you'll come along with me
this is a very simple composition
the road on the bottom coming from the right
the mountain in the background, also on the right
and yeah, a lot of empty space on the left and the top left
the conditions are just perfect
this would have not worked just a couple of days ago when it was still sunny and clear
because what makes this image work in my opinion it's the atmosphere
this fog, the clouds, the rain, the mist
is what brings this photograph to life
okay, I think I've taken plenty photographs of that composition
I'm going to keep going
because there are probably many more images ahead of us
waiting for us to be made
so let's do it
some parts of the landscape around here might look familiar to you
I made a video from here not even 9 months ago, 10 months ago
during the summer this all burnt in a wildfire
I got a beautiful foggy day
and that together with the burnt trees
a very dramatic, moody landscape
this is my first time here since that wildfire, since that day
so I don't know what the landscape is going to look like today
probably very similar
but I can only imagine that all that exposed soil, the dirt, and the ashes from the wildfire
are gonna be very messy today with all the rain
but my hope is to find some burned trees like the ones that I'm seeing right now from here
but just in a better location, and prettier trees
that's another photo I'm gonna be looking for today
they are still working on cleaning the whole area from the wildfire
so sometimes you will see some machinery, like trucks and stuff like that
I'm gonna take a photo of that truck because it looks kind of cool
beautiful landscape, beautiful atmosphere
but I can't see any images of those trees just yet
I'm gonna keep looking, that's for sure
that's nice
well, it's raining a lot now
but this is what I was hoping for today so it's nice
all right, let's get out of here it's raining a lot
that's what I was talking about
I finally found something I liked
those burnt trees were awesome
it's raining quite a bit, it's that rain...
you know, it's not heavy rain
but it makes you wet, really, really wet, really quick
and I have to be very careful with my cameras and everything that I'm using today
in any case, those are the kind of scenes that I'm looking for today
not so much isolated trees in the fog
because I can get that at home on a foggy day
I want to use the mountains here, so I want to see a little bit
a little hint of those mountains, those hills
or at least use the burnt landscape to my advantage
because again, I'm here to get something different from what I can get somewhere else
let's see
there you go
much better
I wish that water was a bit more still
but pretty good
I'm being very lazy, photographing from the car
but I don't feel like getting my raincoat on again, get wet again
I
can't
think of a better place to stop and take a break
and now the sun is coming out
anyway, we have a beautiful atmosphere right now
the rain has stopped and the clouds are still rolling in and out
they are revealing parts of the landscape
different parts of the landscape like every few seconds
so it's very important to keep an eye out
because you never know
like that mountain right there, it looks pretty nice right now
and it's only going to be like that for just a few seconds
really beautiful, really peaceful
I mean, every once in a while you'll hear a chainsaw
because as I said, they are still working on cleaning all this landscape
from the wildfire last year
as you can see
there was really no plan for today other than just getting out here in these conditions
well, so I think this waterfall is going to be my last stop for today
the weather is definitely clearing up
it's not as awesome as it was earlier
there are still plenty of awesome images to be found around here
at any time, of course, it's a beautiful place
but I think I've had enough for today
I think I'm gonna head back home
but it was a lot of fun, I love a good rainy day in the mountains
even though I prefer to hike or to walk while I take photos
well, sometimes car photography is the best way to do it
I hope you enjoyed the video
thank you so much for watching
see you in the next one!
