    Default Another Kalahari Sunset

    Captured this sunset in the Grootkolk camp of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Camp attendant standing behind me looking for lions - they live around here!
    This is actually in the Nossob riverbed, a fossil river that flows briefly every 100 years or so.

    Techs:
    Nikon D800
    Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 @ 24mm
    f11 | 0.3 sec | ISO-100
    Single exposure

    I like the lighting and the way the weaver bird nests ( I think that's what they are?) are illuminated. The colours in the sky are very pleasant and I like the overall composition.

    This is Very Nice Morkel.. Pretty sky. I might have considered a little off the bottom, maybe to halfway between the base of the tree and the bottom.. Just my preference, others will think different I am sure.

    Lovely sky. Well exposed. I might have just turned the camera a little to the left to de-centralise the main tree.

    Unfortunately there was a lot more shrubbery and clutter to the left of the frame...
