When It Comes, Grab It

We get maybe 10 sunsets a year that look like this in Los Angeles. We just don't get clouds very often, and for most lifestyles that's fine and dandy. But for a photographer it can get dull. So when you walk out of the house and see the sky shaping into something like this, you go back into the house and grab your camera. As I was processing this I was thinking that it's almost not fair. It's virtually impossible to take a bad picture in that setting. The trick isn't taking a great photo once you're there, it's knowing beforehand where to go to that it will be impossible to take anything but great pictures. And even then it doesn't always work out. Sometimes you get lucky. Like today.
I lost a GoPro camera on the way home that was attached (poorly, apparently) to the fender of my car. Now it's gone, and with it a beautiful time-lapse of the sunset and the shoot itself. So these shots are somewhat bittersweet. Funny though, sometimes the experience is worth more than the gear.
