The night I flew in from San Diego, there was a beautiful line of clouds, the air was blustery and blowing with excitement, and as I drove home, the sunset just glowed with amazement. I had the thought of pulling over and photographing it, but I didn’t want the freeway and city to be in the foreground. So instead I just enjoyed it as I drove, but then instead of pulling into my driveway, instead I drove a few more miles west out to open country, where I ran and set up to do one panorama before the sun completely left. This was the result.
I really like the lines of the clouds and the dirt path all pointing to the left, balanced by the setting sun on the right. Earlier as I was driving, all the clouds were glowing underneath, but by the time I got here to shoot, just a few of them were still glowing underneath. Still, I really like the color contrast of twilight blue above with the golden light in the middle.
I’m really grateful to live where I do, being so close to areas like this where I can feel like I’m away from everything. And it also means that I can have a great studio garden area for family portraits that is practically unheard of almost anywhere else. Now is the time for family portraits. Give me a all and let’s get something set up for you! 801-728-3317.
