They Say It’s the End of the Day (Badlands National Park)

They Say It’s the End of the Day,

But it’s really not.

The sun just moves to another place

For someone else to enjoy the colors and lights.

I said goodbye to the evening sun,

So someone else could see and enjoy it.

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one late afternoon/evening around sunset in Badlands National Park while standing at Pinnacles Overlook. After a day of overcast skies and drizzle, it was a sight to finally see the sun at the end of the day! What a sight! The rest of the story with this image is using an app on my iPhone called PlanIt! Pro to be ready for that one spot for a sunset. I then set up my Nikon D800E on my tripod and used a setup with a CamRanger. I found it easier to compose the image using the regular viewfinder with my SLR camera. I could then use my iPhone to meter and get feedback on what I was attempting to capture. This is the final image with the sun's final light adding a nice glow to a far distant horizon. A nice end to a day...
