Post-Fire Sunset

DavidTO

OK, so the fires weren't completely out, but they were dying down. I was driving home from work, admiring God's work, when I thought. Dang, I wish I wasn't on the freeway and could get a decent shot of this.

So I called Nikolai and said, "Dude, get your butt out the door and shoot the sunset." He mumbled some lame excuse about not having enough time to get to a vantage point before it was over.

So, throwing caution to the wind, I said, "To heck with that. I'm gonna shoot that sunset right here on the Ventura Freeway (Right by the 405 interchange for you locals).

Here it is:

David...Were you actually driving??? If so, it adds a great crazy element to a great shot.

Um...yeah. But slowly, so it's OK, right?

Sure...As long as you didn't have a beer in the other hand

My SO was coming as we were speaking.. She would have me for dinner if I screwed it up..

Besides, I was right - it was over in 5 minutes, I wouldn't be able to get out. Tried that before, trust me.

Next time call me earlier, please!:D

Great shot!
