A story behind: This has always been my dream to capture a picture like the one above. My desire was to create the image with long exposure extending from 30 seconds up to 1-minute. I wanted to portray a sense of motion that would contrast with the monumental and massive concrete structure of Casa Da Muscia. It hasn ´t been easy. What you need is Cumulus clouds fast moving in a direction longitudinal to the long axis of the building to make an image dynamic; sunny afternoon but with the sun hidden during at least 1 minute long intervals behind the clouds; strong wind but not too strong to get your camera and tripod moving and lots of time ( since one shot takes about 3 minutes and camera movement can ruin your image ).
Finally this Sunday afternoon I did it.
Going with the square format was also perfect for this series. I find the square format very elegant and try to use it more and more.
Please enjoy !
