Happy Monday!

Sorry for the lack of activity on the blog of late.  I’ve been working on several projects and just haven’t been out with my camera.

Yesterday I decided enough was enough and grabbed my camera and a couple of lenses and headed out to see if I could capture a sunset.  Tricky thing (at least for me) about sunsets is that your never fully sure how they are going to look because of the clouds.

This is an image I took while waiting for the sun to get into the right position.  I had my camera set up on a tripod and was going to take a series of shots as it went down beneath the clouds.  I thought I had found the perfect place.

So after the sun went down below the clouds and I got what I thought was a reasonable shot I packed up and headed back to the car.  There was still enough light to capture this image so I did.  🙂

What I didn’t realize because ,it looked like a solid bank of clouds, was that there was an opening at the bottom of the cloud.  When I turned to go North I saw this amazing reddish light pouring down from the main cloud bank.  Well damn!  The tripod is in the trunk and I’ve gone a couple of miles from my original (perfect) location.

So I stopped the car and shot what I could get.  The sky was amazing and I’m not sure this image does it justice but it’s pretty close.

I love photographing sunsets with lots of clouds.  You can click on the image to see a larger version of it.

That’s it for today.  I caught a cold Thursday and (not expecting any sympathy) have felt progressively worse through the weekend.  😦

Thanks for stopping by the blog.  Hope you enjoy your day.  Be careful.
