Valerie Macmichael, Is it really a photo? (LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT 2024)

Well, yes, it certainly is. Boxing Day 2024 brought some severe storms on the Gold Coast and I wanted to throw my hat in the ring and test out the live in-camera composite while we had some wild clouds and weather, it made for perfect conditions for such a dramatic capture. What a wonderful sight it was, to watch the storm roll in, and watch a piece of beautiful art form, on the back screen of the camera. The result was, many many exposures, then formed into a single photo of absolute drama, art, intrigue and beauty, all in camera.
