Corn & Sunset

Posted on by Patrick

Some corn at the edge of town, shot right around gold­en hour.

The pho­to above is, in fact, a com­pos­ite of three pho­tos, a hand­held HDR com­po­si­tion. The three pho­tos are below.

  • Mid­dle exposure
  • Dark expo­sure
  • Bright expo­sure

And then, a sunset.

Twilight at Spruces

Twilight at Spruces in Riding Mountain National Park

My friend Tim is camp­ing up at Wasagam­ing in Rid­ing Moun­tain. I went to vis­it him last night, and before I came home we went to Spruces to check out the twi­light. (We’d planned to check out the sun­set but we got to talk­ing, and time got away from us a lit­tle bit. So it goes.)

Some tall, leaning spruces

Some love­ly cre­pus­cu­lar light there.

We saw a wolf, too, trot­ting down the high­way, but I did­n’t get a pho­to of him.

Reflections at Sunset

Sunset at the edge of town

The clouds looked inter­est­ing, about ten min­utes before sun­set last night, so I grabbed my cam­era and went to the west edge of town. I man­aged to get the last sliv­er of sunset—see the pho­to above.

I also snapped some pho­tos of the sun’s reflect­ed light on the clouds:

Orange sunset light on the clouds
Sun­set light on the clouds

…and on the moon.
