This is another of my favorite sunset images. Black clouds rolled in just as the sun went down and then they gradually turned this unusual orangey-gold color, it was pretty amazing. A few minutes later the clouds turned red. This is south of where the sun set.
Hi Judy, Your getting some remarkable sunsets at this location. This one is entirely different from the previous post and has alot of impact.
The line of clouds act as a base while the sweeping(and brighter) clouds give the image a diagonal movement. Just enough water shown to give the image a sense of place...
Thanks Robert. Unfortunately the clouds that night were moving fast and this lovely cloud formation pretty much disintegrated before they turned more red, but I might post one anyway. The scene before this when the black clouds were moving in is more interesting to me. Wish I'd had a 16 - 35 lens. I might get one in the future.
Hey Judy,
I think the colors are very nice and as Dave stated....just enough base to give some scale. I would like to see this with a bit more detail in the lower/puffier (is that a word?) clouds......just for comparison to see if more depth there in the whites would give this evenmore impact than it already has! Could be worth exploring. Another nice one!
Love the texture, color, shapes, and patterns of the clouds here. Handheld or tripod? Gear? EXP?
