Mid Dusk

Image

On the way back to the cabin after shooting in Roosevelt, Utah. The light was perfect and I jumped out of the car, opened the liftgate, grabbed the camera and then promptly fell on my ass as I tried to get down the embankment to frame shots before the light faded.

In order to get the orange sky, I had to stop it down a bit and that darkened the foreground. I didn’t think I had time to set up a tripod and go for an HDR shot, but I probably should have taken the time, as I think the shot would have worked a tiny bit better.

    Nice catch. I suppose a graduated filter may have helped with the foreground, too, but only if you had enough light to punch through the darker part of the filter.

    Gorgeous. The orange of the sky is incredibly compelling.

    What a breathtaking photograph! I think Van Gogh would have been happy painting here.
