The most brilliant colors of sunset occur some time after the sun has dropped below the horizon.
The image on my previous post was taken as the sun was beginning to touch the mountains to my west. This image was captured sixteen minutes later.
As you will notice the contrast and intensity of color has dramatically increased.

I spend a lot of time each day before dawn and after sunset just looking at things I saw during the day and I often take more photos at these hours than at any other time.
ReplyDeleteI think this is going to be the best Sky Watch Friday yet. The things I have seen are very encouraging and the photography is spot on.
I really admire your photography skills and your critical eye for composition, lighting and texture.

Yes, the best colors often happen after the sun goes down. Very nice picture, Salty!
ReplyDeleteSalty: I most certainly agree, we can't see the sun anymore but the clouds certainly get the rays and they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly beautiful, Salty. Many times I've looked back out my window after the sun has set and been amazed and the brilliance it's left behind. This is no exception.
ReplyDeletePlease greet Mrs. Salty for me.
That's interesting--and lovely to look at.
ReplyDeleteTruly breathtaking colors and I like how mellow and peaceful the scene looks in the previous post.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours. If I can I like to take a series of pictures at dawn or sunset as the light keeps changing, it just gets better and better.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about sunsets, you've captures a really nice one!
