It’s Our Sunset

Posted in Landscape by Andy Hiseman on August 2, 2009

Sometimes you look outside, and the world’s gone pink. At 9pm last night we noticed this, climbed off the sofa and went outside to see the latest special effects display in our back yard:

Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm lens at 10mm, 1/25 at f 4.0, ISO 640, hand held no flash. That’s Marie looking west across Rutland. We built the decking just for moments like this. Marie is eight months pregnant in this picture, our baby girl is still in there somewhere, and note Jesse the cat on the table - looking for yet more moths to catch. He’s on about three a day at the moment.

This picture is more or less untouched out of the lens – I just brightened up the decking a touch in Levels, but the colours are unchanged, and outrageous. “It feels like our own private sunset,” said Marie.
