Sunsets are an eternally fresh and wonderful subject for photographers to capture, and the passing events of sunrays and clouds are so ephemeral you must often just shoot what’s before you and see how the chip handles it. This frame, of the day's end through an incoming weather front, a welcome relief from Australia's summer heat, was captured almost nineteen years ago—February 11th, 2005—and is part of a group of sunsets I photographed from Flinders University. I was finishing my Masters Degree at the time and was up and down to the campus frequently. Sunset in February is quite late, mid-evening, so I had obviously been working in the library or in a meeting, perhaps a student gathering I preparation for the new term about to begin. I took this shot, like a number of others, while walking down to get the bus home, through a part of the campus completely redeveloped in later years. Minimal enhancement was used—contrast, colour, sharpness and gamma value. Fuji FinePix S5600, automatic. Image by Mike.
