This project has really tested me because the weather just never seemed right for about the last 4 weeks. Before hand we've had nice relatively clear warm nights that would have been just perfect to do this project but of course its sods law that as soon as i reached this section the weather changed meaning its been a long wait to get the right conditions once more.
What i found most spectacular while watching the sun go down was the incredible range of tones that are produced from purples right through to reds, and this then can alter the feel of anything you shot during this period. I never really understood how peaceful and relaxing it is to just sit and watch the sun go down.
By using a telescopic lens i was able to capture this beautiful sunset with the silhouetted trees and the sun rays coming out of the clouds as the sun passes through. I hadn't done much work this close to dusk before so this project gave me the chance to play with alot of different exposures and settings to discover which i felt worked best for me so moving forward through this next section I'll be much more proficient and hopefully be able to capture the perfect moment all the more better.
