Once in a lifetime: Photographer Adam Karnacz witnesses an incredible weather phenomenon

 

 

Adam Karnacz of First Man Photography was out for some photography when he was faced with a unique and spectacular moment. Sometimes when you're in the field, unexpected and wonderful things happen and you've got to forget your original plan and just do your best to capture the scene.

To help prepare yourself for surprise moments, familiarity with your equipment is very important. It's also key to be able to maintain composure enough to make good decisions with respect to lens choice, composition, settings, etc. Most importantly, enjoy the moment. If you're a landscape or wildlife photographer, it's because you love nature and are passionate about capturing beautiful images. Adam does an awesome job capturing what he calls one of his favorite photography moments ever, so sit back, relax and enjoy.

For Karnacz, this weather phenomenon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. While luck will always play a part in many types of photography, there is an element of making your own luck, and that's getting out there and shooting a lot. The more you're in the field, the better the odds of seeing something magical.
