Sunsets are organic images, building, changing and g-fading in response to natural factors. The configuration of the clouds, the angle of the sunlight falling on them—all conspire to make each sunset different from every other. I shot this one on May 23rd, 2023, almost at the end of a lengthy series, as the finale to a long day's expedition that took us all overt the near north—Lenswood, the Barossa, the Whispering Wall, Gleeson Wetland and so forth. With the sunset building, we pulled over and spent a while shooting the flaming sky from beside the highway, as photographers sometimes do. No particular photographic effects, though this is a high telephoto shot, closing in on the richest point in the sky. Unzoomed frames are mainly blue-toned, with the reds confined to a band low toward the horizon. Minor adjustments to contrast and sharpness in Irfanview; Fuji FinePix S5600. Image by Mike.
