The clouds were rolling in and a the temperature was about to have a change for the better. It had been a beautiful day full of sun and some very welcome warmth. I knew that there was a possibility of a spectacular light show from the falling sun. Wanting the kids to experience the sunset, I hustled them to the car and set out for a lake. I knew the lake would still be very frozen due to the frigid days we had just experienced. Placed my tripod onto the ice and a very low angle so I could get a better perspective of the ice and more of the sky. All of these photos were taken with a 10 stop neutral density filter and very in exposure time from 70 seconds to 225 seconds. To view them larger, visit my landscape gallery at alderimages.com/landscape.
This first photo was meant to display the wide array of colors the clouds were showing as they quickly moved out of the scene. I had to turn the camera away from my initial location to get the colors.
The last three photos were successive photos taken one after another and the exposure times increased with every photo due to the fading light. This first one was approximately 120 seconds and the bottom was 225 seconds. All the photos were shot with a Tokina @ 12mm, f/9, ISO 100. I love the effect the 10 stop filter has on moving clouds. I decided on this spot since the clouds were moving toward the camera. It gives a better sense of movement and leading lines headed toward the sunset itself. This is suppose to create a more pleasing photo.
Thank you for viewing!
