Day 135: A Silhouette Sunset

Tonight I thought that the clouds were just right to get a great sunset picture. Of course the conditions change quickly sometimes, and the clouds left as soon as they came in. I still thought that I could capture something with the fading light. The problem was that I was behind schedule getting out to my location so I had to hustle to get anything. I stopped when I came to the first windmills and turned towards them. I found a nice grain elevator to silhouette with the windmills I knew that it could look good if done properly. I think that I did an alright job of capturing the windmills with the barn even while talking on the phone. I think that Ansel Adams did such great work because he didn’t have a cell phone with him. Luckily though the phone allowed me to continue a conversation while still getting my shot. I always try to learn something everyday, and today I learned that I can still function while on the phone. The best part about the picture is that I captured exactly what I wanted to get without the aid of HDR. I think that I could have tweaked this shot a little in the HDR process, but I am more than happy with the results straight out of the camera.
