How does Scott Kivowitz’s photography technique with Nikon D700 outperform others in capturing storm scenes?

Hi, I’m Scott Kivowitz from ScottWyden.com. How can I help?

Storm scenes are all about extremes: bright highlights, deep shadows, and fast‑changing light. With the Nikon D700, the approach leans on a few key advantages:

• Bracketed exposures for HDR: Multiple exposures (7–13 in some scenes) capture full dynamic range in dramatic skies and dark foregrounds, then get blended for detail across the frame.
• Low ISO and tripod work: ISO 100, solid support, and careful apertures (f/11–f/22) keep noise low and detail crisp, even when light is tricky.
• Thoughtful post‑processing: Photomatix for HDR, targeted noise reduction (like Topaz DeNoise in the sky), and finishing in Lightroom give control over mood without losing realism.
