Pink and Blue to Grandpa’s, near Gretna NE
Over the river and through the woods to Grandpa’s house we went for an early Christmas dinner. This is the view looking out over the Platte River valley on Interstate 80 between Omaha and Lincoln Nebraska. The Holy Family Shrine can be seen on the left side of the horizon. It was a cloudy sunset so the sun didn’t make much of an appearance, but about 20 minutes after sunset a ribbon of pink and purple lit the sky. The dinner was lovely too!
This is a single 30 second exposure. I used a 2-stop hard-step neutral density filter to reduce two stops of light above the horizon.
Critiques are always welcome.
