We were in a shelter building of the campground, celebrating the 4th birthday of our granddaughter Addie, when the rain of a powerful thunderstorm poured down on our tent. A little later, as the storm moved out, we checked the tent but everything was still dry as expected. The last half hour before sunset was filled with some dramatic light. It was our first camping weekend of the season and we had the tent camping area of Spring Lake Park, near Jefferson, Iowa all for ourselves. It doesn’t get much better.
I really like the Nikkor Z 24-70, f/4 S lens for this kind of landscape work. With fast moving clouds and lots of trees to consider this zoom range is perfect for trying different perspectives within a short manner of time. The first photo was made at 24 mm while for the second the longer end of the zoom range was used.
