The almost Full Moon and a blazing red sky
|
|
| When
I saw this view looking out the front door of my house, I thought,
"I've got to get a photograph of that!" So I rushed in and
grabbed the Nikon D70, and quickly put a 70-210mm Sigma lens on. This
was the result. It was fleeting. To say it lasted for seconds is an
understatement. Within moments the Moon had been covered with blanket
cloud and the fiery red edges had gone from the clouds. If there's
one thing I've learned about red skies, it's that they only last for
a few short minutes, so you've got to work quick. I didn't have enough
time to load some Velvia into the Nikon F90, which would have accentuated
the colour even more. I don't even know if people will like this photo,
but I enjoy colour when nature presents it, so I try to make best
use of it. |
