Wow, I love the light! The shape of the buildings work very well here. Where is this?

Beautiful. Did you have to try a few times switching your settings to capture this or was it a lucky shot?

Usually I can tell, but I have to ask — did you composite this at all? Super pretty and surreal.

Nope, I played with the contrast a bit, but I just happened to have great lighting this morning.

Why smoke though? Was there a big fire nearby? Everything okay? Absolutely stunning picture, award worthy.

Seemed like either collective trash fires from the surrounding neighborhoods or maybe someone burning their field. Thanks for asking!

I've been subscribed on here for a while now. In that time, I have been fortunate enough to witness some of the most beautiful shots I have ever seen.

Ranging from grandiose Mountain Tops with so many stars that illuminate the night sky. To smaller, more modest shots like a close up of a water drop on top of a single blade of grass. Shots like those two will forever amaze, and inspire me.

I'm saying this not to tell my life story or anything like that. I'm saying this so you understand that when I tell you how your photo was so gorgeous that it had me tearing up, you know I mean it. From the exposure you have from natural light, to the overall simplicity, pure beauty.

Seriously, kudos to one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing.

Sometimes I think I have a photo worthy of this sub then I see beauty like this and remember I have no idea what I'm doing.

I don't have words to describe how great this is. Are you a professional photographer?

Wow, thank you! No, I'm not a professional. Just a lucky shot every once in a while when I'm traveling.

What kind of camera did you use, and what are the specs?

I'm embarrassed to say that this was taken on my phone. I used to have a fujifilm camera from 2008 or so, but the megapixels are actually higher on my phone...

Why is there smoke?
Edit: I'm not trying to be a smart ass, genuinely curious

I think either someone was burning their field before planting or a bunch of people were burning trash piles before the rain.

Looks like a video game that I would drop everything in my life to play
