Front Row Seat, Lake Sam Rayburn TX
We were back at Lake Sam Rayburn last weekend and were witness to a very unique sunset. The puffy clouds started to move out and the wispy clouds on the right side of the frame started to move in. The sun actually set in between these two different types of clouds and it made for a weird looking composition that I didn’t really like too much. But I got some very cool time lapses of the clouds moving across the horizon.
This is a single 10 second exposure taken with my 7D on a tripod. The other camera is my 5D Mark II with a couple of graduated filters on the lens (I bought the camera used and it came with a set of 7 filters). The little square on the tip top is a three-way level mounted into the hotshoe on my wireless tranceiver, which is mounted into the hotshoe on the camera. The tripod is a Bogen 3036 and the ball head says Mod 168. Both are very heavy duty and together weigh probably 15 pounds. I bought the tripod with head for about $100.00 on craigslist.
Critiques are always welcome.
