Windthorst Sunset
May 18, 2007Usually speaking... I don't shoot stuff for fun.
I mean, I have a lot of fun when I work (sometimes), and I shoot a lot of stuff on the side for money, but very rarely do I take pictures of stuff if I don't have to.
When you work 40+ hours a week taking pictures of stuff for a living, you kinda lose the drive to just pick up a camera and go.
That being said...I couldn't resist this shot last night.
As I was leaving the Holliday-Peaster baseball game at the field in Windthorst, the big-ole burning sun was sinking right behind this farm. Now...normally a sunset shot is a wide angle with the clouds and whatnot, but I really liked what I saw.
Shooting with the giant 400mm f2.8 lens (or as I sometimes call it....the beast), there was no worry about getting much more than the sun and the grain silos in the distance.
I didn't get back until too late to get this picture in the newspaper, and I didn't even bother even telling anybody about it.
It was just kinda something for me....

this is just absolutely lovely...i think my favorite part is the star, though...i am drawn to these sunsets behind man-made landscapes, they seem to be eloquent on the state of the world that we live in.
That is an awesome photo.
