Columbia River Sunset
I've been hanging out at Rooster Rock in the evenings this week just beating the heat, not really expecting much in the way of sunsets, but tonight's sky to the west had some nice cirrus clouds and an unexpected gap in the sky below the horizon that lit things up.
This was one of those in-camera multiple exposure shots with the camera set to auto average... I think i did six images, each at 8 sec. for a total of 48 sec. With noise reduction on and time spent checking each exposure before releasing the shutter again, this stretched out the elapsed cloud movement to probably over two minutes. Normally this can cause some stuttering of the cloud pattern with the delay between exposures, but the softer cirrus clouds seemed to have negated that effect. It's also interesting how the colors changed on this shot compared to some of the regular short exposures. I lost some of the blues and nice details in the sky but was able to smooth out the water better and give a softer look to the sunset.
