Title: Sunset stroll
Post by: MattBurt on September 15, 2020, 12:54:27 pm: I headed out last night when things were looking promising for sunset. I stayed close to home (2 miles) and the sky delivered.
I shot medium format for the first time in a while (645D). That camera is slow to operate but I still love the images it produces.

Thanks. Interesting idea.
Not sure if that would work but maybe. I usually just try to catch the best moment.

I love the first for the swirling water.
I love the second for the magnificent sky.
I suspect that combining the two would end up with a battle between the two distinct areas of interest.

Just my 2 farthings.
