Downtown Dallas Sunset

kithylin

I know I haven't posted here in a long time, mainly because it's been too damn hot to go anywhere here in Texas. Well, anyway this past Wednesday night I did go somewhere, I went downtown Dallas to visit a friend of mine and while leaving his apartment i went to our car on the top of the car-park / car garage and saw this sunset. Quickly I scrambled for my DSLR from the car to capture it.

Thought I'd share it here with y'all. You can click on this for a very large view, should you wish to do so.



Photo taken with my Nikon D70, and the Sigma lens listed down here in my signature.
Camera balanced on the corner of two intersecting hand-rails, neck strap used to elevate lens upwards a bit, and hands held under the camera praying it doesn't fall down the stair-well.
Shot at F/22 with 10 second exposure, 18mm wide.

Thank you for the comments. The only problem is i realized yesterday it was shot in ISO-400 instead of ISO-200, oh well, still pretty decent.

Howdy,

Really love the Color of the Clouds,
and the inclusion of the Cars in the Foreground and
the Buildings of Big D, really give it a very nice Sense of Scale.

I'm fond of how it turned out too. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and had some time to take some shots of it, for a change. I saw a really epic sun setting behind a building with some clouds last week but 1.) didn't have my camera with me and 2.) we were in a hurry to get somewhere. Oh well, at least I have this shot as a consolation.
