50/50 Split
A nice jaunt to Magpie Mine last night as clear skies were forecast. I had planned on arriving later, but with the promise of a change of weather from cloudy to clear, I thought I'd make the effort and get there early just in case it all kicked off.
I was rewarded with a biblical sky and some sublime light as a snow shower passed through 10 minutes before the sun set. The sky behind the mine was nothing special but this tree behind me got well and truly lit up.
This is the first time in a long time that I've preferred the sunset shot over the after dark stuff which ensued.
I think I have heard you shouldn't split the frame down the middle like this but out of all the compositions the 50/50 split did it for me.
Star shot of the Mine to follow another day.
Happy days.
