SUNRISE AND SUNSET OVER LAKE SUPERIOR, GREEN, MICHIGAN, JUNE 6, 2012
TOP: Pentax K20D
Sigma DC 17-70 at 17mm
1/250 sec. f8
ISO 400
The moment the bottom of the sun's circle emerges from the horizon seems the best time of day to capture a sunrise with a wide-angle lens. The blue sweep of the high sky sets off the slash of red-orange below the low clouds.
BOTTOM: Pentax K-5
SMC Pentax-DA 55-300 at 300mm
1/500 sec. f13
ISO 800
It was very considerate of those geese to "photobomb" the composition, wasn't it? Suddenly a merely pretty sunset photographed with a long zoom lens takes on considerably more interest. Click on either photo for a desktop-sized version.
