Default Saraha sunset...

not really, but for less than 5 minutes the sun seemed to be this awesome orange. i'd never really taken pictures of a sunset with my telephoto lens, so i put on my 70-200 and took a few snaps. looks like something i'd see in the desert or something. taken out of my 2nd floor condo's window.

even between these pics, you can see how quickly the brilliance went away. C&C always welcomed and appreciated.







cheers,

You need to keep these shots in your "bag of tricks" for when you need a great sky to add to a bland background!
