The Uncertain Sunset

This past Tuesday I shot up to my go-to sunset spot Doe Run Lake. Oddly it had only been my second trip up there this year as I had been going through a bit of a photography lull. Storms had pushed through earlier in the evening and I hoped there would be an sunset opportunity. Watching out my kitchen window it was looking more and more like I was going to get to do some shooting. I arrived to Doe Run about a half an hour early, parked close to the lake ramp and began playing on my phone and tuned in the Cincinnati Reds game. After about 15 minutes I began to think that it was going to be a dud and had turned on the car to leave. I gave it a few more minutes and as the clouds shifted it became evident I needed to get out my gear and set up. After my first spot I chose on a foot bridge had too much foliage covering the sky, I tried another spot below it. I definitely need to start planning these things out better, there was still too much foliage in my field of vision but made an adjustment and it wasn't long till sunset was hitting peak. I just loved the rays of light leading from the horizon! Wow! What a scene! And to think I almost bailed. What a close one that was!
