Ramona Grasslands Clouds, Cattle, and Colors Sunset Timelapse
Timelapse of the sunset looking east from Rangeland Road in Ramona Grasslands Preserve. Not all sunsets are best seen looking west. Also, I wanted to capture the ominous clouds out east.
Watch the cattle roam around the pasture, the colorful sunset clouds, and an occasional airplane landing at the nearby airport.
You may need to watch on a larger screen - such as on a desktop or laptop computer - in order to see the cattle. I tried to strike a balance between zooming in on the cattle while still including enough sky in the frame. I shot this with a Canon 6D and Canon EF 75-300mm lens in shutter speeds ranging from 1/1600 sec to 0.8 sec f/4.5 ISO 640 90mm. Background music is "Heaven" by Zero V.
Ramona Grasslands County Preserve sits in the Santa Maria Valley between scenic coastal mesas and the rocky outcrops of the peninsula mountain ranges. Hikers, cyclists and equestrians alike can explore this 3,521-acre preserve, however, not all acreage is open to the public; some land is closed to protect sensitive resources along with the natural beauty of the area. Visit on your own or attend a docent-led interpretive excursions – both lead to open breathtaking panoramic views.
Private cattle are permitted to graze on the land as it is beneficial to several high priority species utilizing the loamy grasslands, e.g., Stephens’ kangaroo rat (SKR) and raptors. Grazing helps reduce wildfire dangers as well.
