New Sunset 2

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 4 October 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Ok, so one of the most spectacular things about life and scenery in coastal Florida would be the sunsets. Continued from yesterday, this on-going sunset was captured last Sunday as we cruised southbound on I-75 from Atlanta. Shot at 75 mph, that blurred little bit of power pole at the right bottom sort of gives away our speed and motion.

@ColNed Pictures: Thank you; in autumn the great skies are about the only extra color we see. The full moon-rise a couple of weeks ago was spectacular; didn't have time to photo it. Sigh...

@tyan: Speed cameras... ugh! Our speed did impact the focus, IMO, and I'm sad about that.

Rebecca from Leicester, United Kingdom

Wow, these are truly royal tones, sir, and such an utterly marvellous composition, especially at speed !! (really relieved to remember Mrs VF at the wheel as this shot is taken :) ) Tremendous beauty here. I’m gobsmacked once again! :)

@Rebecca: Thanks kind Rebecca. Your compliments just feel so good! We'll miss you all next week, but hopefully you will have a wonderful time with your family. Wish your dad a happy birthday for me and Mrs. VF.

super shot considering you were driving at 75 miles per hour ... I can see the blur of the pole

@R: Wish there was a little more sharpness to the shot, but the speed did in the autofocus a bit more than I would have liked.

Rabbit from Richmond, United States

I think the silhouette of the Power Pole makes this shot super!

@Rabbit: Thank you Rabbit. You are such a kind gal!

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

A drive by shooting, eh?!!! VERY nicely done! The blur gives it some depth. Wonderful Viewfinder!!

@amy: Thanks for being so kind. LOL - "drive by shooting." Your shot today is great; the time you spent deciding what to do with it really paid off.

Amir from ?, United States

One more nice sky, well done dear

@Amir: Thanks Amir

Brian from United States

Another spectacular and peaceful image! Lovely!

4 Oct 2007 5:37pm

@Brian: All credit to God, all I did was snap the shutter. As I think you know, Florida, day by day, looks pretty much this way.

Walt from Scarborough, Canada

Love the blurring on this one - good find!

@Walt: Thanks much, Walt.

You get nice sunsets on your coast. Here it's sunrises, but I'm rarely up in time to see them :)

4 Oct 2007 10:01pm

@Ken McCoy: Thanks, Ken. It's nice to think of this as "my" coast. But I'm with you, if it were the sunrise coast like "yours" I'd probably never see too many of those either.

Bron from Canberra, Australia

Fantastic shot taken at speed VF & Mrs VF!!! :))
