Frozen Sunset

jfenton · Mar 11, 2005

I spent all of yesterday afternoon out in the frozen salt marsh with a 15-20 mph east wind off the ocean the entire time shooting Harriers..and froze my *** off!

As I was stiffly walking back to the car, I turned to look at the sunset and saw that whispy snow has started to fall into the sun...and I grabbed this shot.

I didn't even look to see what the camera was set on as I could barely move the fingers on my right hand to trip the shutter so it's a noisy 640 ISO shot...but I kinda like it anyways.

Nikon D2x 17-35 AFS

Very nice, Jim. Yep, I see the noise in the snow, but the colors in the sky are great.

Very nice picture, Jim. The sky is wonderful and the wide cropping is appropriate. I would like to see a little bit more details in the foreground (just my taste).
