Merced National Wildlife Refuge
This sunset was taken at the Bittern Marsh in the Merced National Wildlife Refuge. My goal today was to capture a sunset off the viewing platform that was right behind me. I had already set up my tripod and d500 for the sunset. Then I turned around and saw way better color behind me. I went back to my truck and pulled out my Nikon 7100 and took a few pictures of this view at the Bittern Marsh.
It probably wasn't smart the to leave my camera behind, but I was the only one in the refuge and I would hear someone coming way before they got to where I was shooting. The clouds in the East were way better looking then the ones in the West and I didn't want to miss them. I did get some amazing views off the platform, but they didn't have this kind orange glow.
