Sunset
Sunset, Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Tucker County, West Virginia. I drove to Canaan Valley the day before the Potomac Highlands photography workshop (Randall Sanger Photography) was to start, a bonus of which was being able to accompany the workshop's leaders, Randy Sanger and Todd Williams, the evening before to scout a possible site for the workshop. Sunset that evening turned out to provide the best sunset or sunrise color of the week. Moreover, we were greeted by an 8-point whitetail buck when we parked to walk to the wetlands area. (If I were shooting this again, I think I would open the lens to f/11 or f/13 to shorten the exposure time and reduce the drift of the clouds.) The refuge, created in 1994 with 86 acres, now has nearly 17,000 acres, nearly half wetlands -- the largest wetlands complex in West Virginia.
