Images at Twilight
Now that we’ve passed the summer solstice and the days are getting shorter, why not take advantage of the many late sunsets remaining. That magic period between 8 and 9 pm can produce some provocative images. All the images below are hand held. I know it goes against the rules handed down since Ansel Adams was a pup, but what are rules for anyway? With exposures up to a second long, some unexpected and pleasing results can occur.
Shooting digital makes it easier than ever. And for those shooting film--just imagine the anticipation waiting to get back what you thought you saw through the viewfinder.
Here’s my salute to late sunsets and happy surprises.
