An Epic End to the Day

[AlanLichty]

Sunsets have been interesting lately but typically felt like distant clouds and marine layers have cut them a bit short in duration and color. Not so last Friday when very nice atmospheric conditions led to a nice finale with colors all around and over the position of my drone. There was no way to capture it all but I did set up a very wide stitch of the show with this sequence. Best viewed at full size on a wide screen. With six panels at 28mm this covers almost 180º from the edge of Vancouver Lake on the left to the Cascades on the right. A slight bit of haze added to the evening colors and obscures distant views as can be seen on the right side.

C&C always welcome.

Now this is Epic!!! How awesome you could capture this. The pano is the best way to do this, so good one!

Thanks Jim - good full sky sunsets have been hard to come by this spring so it was nice to see this one unfold.

Nice one Alan. Really nice sunset with the various cloud shapes across the frame.

Definitely epic—a well-captured panoramic image.

Thanks Jameel - I wish there was a way to capture the puffy ones overhead and behind me as well. Portrait orientation has the limitation of only 10º about level which is less than what I can get using Landscape since I can tilt the gimbal higher.

Many thanks John - I wish we would get more sunsets like this but if we might not hold them up as epic outliers
