Pinks on Green…

by on Jul.03, 2017, under Photography

On cue just on sunset the skies turned to lovely pastels looking away from the sun over the ocean. It was all pinks on green. There was a thin band of puffy cloud down low right above the horizon. I wanted to focus the attention on this so it was time to try a handheld stitched panorama at a longish focal length (160mm).

NIKON D750 + 28.0-300.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 160 mm, 1/160 sec at f/8, ISO 720 x 8 Frames

Eight (8) horizontal frames later we have this stretch of the horizon which goes from almost north to south.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.

The light was beautiful behind them so it was time for a few quick portraits of the girls before it got way too dark. This is when a softbox and a strobe would have done wonders.

And by the time we got back to the car we had a fantastic show of colour to the west as day drew towards night. Not even the mass of power lines and poles could spoil the splash of colour.
