Hall of the Mountain King
During my stay on the side of the road, capturing the sunset, taking in the color, breathing that fresh mountain air I slipped past Golden Hour... well past sunset... right into Blue hour. This was taken about twenty minutes after the sun had set, right around the time I was about to pack up, but I couldn't be bothered to step away from my tripod. Rarely do I get to see the sky turn such brilliant shades, so I stayed, transfixed between my camera, and this luminous sky ahead. I had to snap out of it for a moment to remember to shoot a nice panorama of the scene, to truly bring the entirety of the sky to you... Watching this sunset brought me back to my childhood, standing atop the ridge with my grandparents, mother, and other members of the family. To think, I was going to simply stay home.... No camera trickery here, no exposure bracketing... a little photo editing to bring the colors back out with the help of my color checker card, and a bit of nostalgia as I stared into the Halls of the Mountain King.
ISO: 160
Aperture: f8
SS: 1/8
Focal: 16mm
Just a simple 5 frame panorama.
