And the orange glow

September 20, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A low key HDR sunset photograph overlooking the tidal overflow of a lagoon flowing through a salt marsh.

And the orange glow — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

I came away with two shots from last night’s sunset shoot. The one I posted yesterday and the one you see above. Only minutes after the first photograph, the sky had undergone a rapid transformation. From the deep blue sky and dramatic clouds to the smooth orange glow backed by an almost turquoise sky that we see here. Once that sun came under the cloud draping just over the horizon the warmth of the sunlight changed—dialing up the orange and yellow and intensifying shadows. This is a big part of what make sunset (or sunrise) so exciting—you can have numerous stunning scenes in the span of one half hour.
