Default Chasing the Sunset(literally)

I had a spot all picked out to shoot the sunset. A nice snow covered hill with Cedar trees and even a few deer. Unfortunately when I got there I realized the sun wasn't going to be at the right angle. Into the van I jumped and attempted to drive the 21 miles to Truman lake hoping to catch a sunset over the ice covered lake. Foiled again, the sun was dropping too fast so I pulled over found an open area and snapped off about 30 photos without even changing my settings.(first shot is from those I blew out the sun) Then I jumped back in the van and chased the sunset till I got to the mile long bridge over Truman Lake where I snapped the second one while driving. First attempt at shooting a sunset I suck, but next time I'll find a better place(I hope).

I think everyone has chased a sunset and maybe their tale more than a few times to get a capture. Thanks for the kind words.
