Orange Sky Over Busy Street

Daily HDR Photo — Orange Sky — Busy Street

Today’s shot is a beautiful sunset over a busy street. Well, not that busy at the moment. Usually it is ;)

Orange Sky Over Busy Street

(Email This Post)

I don’t know what weather conditions make for these skys that go a rich orange with the setting sun. I suppose a certain level of water in the air to reflects the light just so. Whatever it is, I think these are my favorite kind of sunsets. I was lucky enough to be near this bridge when the sky started to turn, so I quickly set up and took this shot.

In addition to the wonderful sky, you can really get a sense of the chaos of wires present in Japan with this shot. Ah, wires…

    We had a really nice sunset in Sendai yesterday too. I caught it after the sun had set and the sky was blood red. My picture doesn’t do it justice unfortunately.

      It’s frustrating isn’t it? This is why I almost never photographed sunsets until I switched to HDR. The range of light is just too difficult to capture without multiple exposures.
