Red Sun - a photo on Flickriver

Red Sun

            Sometimes, a pleasing image presents itself when it is not even being sought.

On a lazy but productive Friday, I peeked out the front window late in the afternoon, and noticed that the sun, low in the western sky, was very red as a result of the plumes of smoke from a distant fire.

I headed outside and took some snapshots with my phone, but that was not satisfying enough, so I came back inside and quickly assembled my DSLR camera rig, and headed back outside in order to capture a much more pleasing image.

This is the result.

Pleasing photography is generally a combination of a lot of planning and a little luck; but in this case, there was no planning, and 100% luck.
