Default Red Sky

I took this one yesterday morning from the parking lot at work. The light and clouds were changing so rapidly, I had to try without the aid of a tripod. I used my D50 with 70-300 zoom (100mm, F4.5, 1/50). This was the least blurred out of 6 I took. I did a little in PS7, this is my result.

Dramatic colours in the sky indeed, lucky to be there at this moment. I was wondering what made you select spot metering and what did you focus on? The sky is not sharp, but, I guess the overall blurring was because of the wide aperture (f/4.5), was there an option to increase the ISO? Normally in such situations till ISO 800, the grains are managable.

Thanks for the comment.

Colors, light and clouds were changing so fast, I had no time to change ISO or other settings.
