So, I am trying to predict a little better. If there are some clouds, there might be some colour to shoot.
In the event, I went out on Thursday evening, pretty much after the sun had set, but there was still some colour, In fact, I think the photos turned out quite well. This was the first. I really like the orange hilights under that heavy dark blue sky.
I moved back a little and took this one about 5 to 10 minutes later.
I headed out on Friday evening but had less luck. This was about as good as it got. Not terrible, but not like the previous evening either. A tighter shot without the dock would likely have been better, but I had my wide angle lens and had chosen this spot.
You're right on about the potential. Sunsets are a bit easier to find than sunrise. That blasted ball begins affecting the sky an entire hour before it's "up!".
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful photos AC. Love these too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunsets! I am surrounded by pine trees on all sides so I have to get in the car to go find a treeless hill or water. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteSunsets were my forte, back in the day. Wispy clouds are the best...allows for plenty of colors. 20-30 minutes after the official setting is the best color opportunities. Too much thick clouds, or cloudless, not much of a colorful sunset at all. Nice shots!
