Thirty Seconds of Sunset

I’m starting to really fall in love with long exposures for photography that isn’t traditionally done with long exposures. This sunset’s motion and change of color over those thirty seconds was nearly imperceptible to the naked eye but getting to see it all at once in one image is special. This sunset was a surprise too. That ceiling of high clouds blocked the sun out most of the day and Death Valley was awash in gloom…. Until the sun came into the window of sky and space between the clouds and the mountains and set everything ablaze. Magic.
