Week 14, SOOC (Technical): Dazzling Sky

When the cold front blew through earlier this week, it brought one of the most dazzling sunsets that Mother Nature can produce.  Sunset lovers know that the real colors come after the sun has dropped behind the horizon and this was no exception.  With the wind up and temperatures dropping there were just a few hardy souls on Turtle Beach.  We were all going  “oooh!”  “ahhhh!”  It was worth freezing……OK, that’s probably a little exaggeration….I’m a baby about being cold.

I took about a dozen shots, changing the F stop, shutter speed and ISO trying to capture the colors as I saw them.  This photo comes closest.  

The photo is SOOC.  The image darkened when I converted it from RAW to JPG.  Hmmm…..it’s lighter on my laptop.
