The image seen here is a recent shot that I took at sunset. I really like the reds and oranges and the structure in the clouds. It was a surprise that it happened as I thought that the approaching storm from the west would have cut off the light from the setting sun. This sunset quickly "shut off", however, and just a few moments later the skies were dark and uninteresting. It's amazing how fleeting some of natures wonders are. I have been accused of faking some of these photos but I don't. It would be 100 times harder to fake them than to actually just wait and take the picture when the opportunity arises. Most of the scenes that I capture are taken when most people are in bed in the morning or inside eating during the evening.
I am always shooting views such as this. I seem to get a bigger kick out of it than most people. I'm not sure why I like shooting this type of stuff but I do. I've been doing ever since I was a teenager. This year I celebrate 30 years in the hobbies of Astronomy and Photography. The Missouri Skies web site also celebrates 15 years online.I hope this blog goes well. Thanks for taking a look.
