Title: [Theme] Sunrise to Sunset
Post by: Mike Wallace on March 30, 2016, 05:03:15: Let's see your sun shots. :) Living in the desert, it is one of my favorite things to shoot. Here is tonight's sunset. Taken in Apple Valley, California. Nikon D800E/Rokinon 14mm 2.8

Post by: charlie on March 30, 2016, 05:13:35: Hi, Mike

I was just an hour down the road from you in Pioneertown this past weekend :)
I love it out there in the desert, haven't spent to much time in Apple Valley though.

Hi, Mike

I was just an hour down the road from you in Pioneertown this past weekend :)
I love it out there in the desert, haven't spent to much time in Apple Valley though.

You did at least wave as you jetted down the 15, I hope! :)

I have only lived out here for a few years myself. Originally from down the hill in Orange County. I really enjoy being away from the hustle and bustle of the city and burbs. I am still only 90 minutes from the "life" if I feel the need.

Never been to Pioneer Town. Is that like Calico Ghost Town in Barstow? I'll have to look it up. I hope to get a small 4WD next year and really take advantage of the area. :)

Post by: charlie on March 30, 2016, 05:51:08: Oh you've got to go to Pioneertown. It is just a few minutes outside of Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley. They originally built the town to film old westerns there I believe, but the main draw these days is Pappy & Harriets bar and restaurant. It's kind of the only thing there. Delicious food and good music.

We take our Jeep out there from time to time. There's a fun 4WD road that connects Big Bear and Pioneetown.

Post by: elsa hoffmann on March 30, 2016, 20:01:09: nice pic Mike.

I always find it difficult to shoot when the sun is in that position - (small and low) never know where to put it in the frame.
The attached photo was taken 9 years and 10 days ago. I trip I will never forget.
Title: Re: Sunrise to Sunset
Post by: Bjørn Rørslett on March 30, 2016, 20:41:01: I often find the mundane 'flogged to death' subject of a sunset more entertaining when the sun itself is not directly within the frame. The long transition between day and nightfall at the high latitudes in summer is ideal for such photographic enjoyment. The sky colour changes are as delicate as they are amazing.

What a beautiful shot Elsa! An unforgettable trip with an unforgettable capture!

I find sunsets challenging also. So many factors involved. Location, time of year, cloud cover etc. But they can be very rewarding. You really never know what you are going to get until you start to process them. :)

I do agree with you. Typically the best, most interesting colors are not display until the sun has dipped below the horizon. What a very creative, interesting and beautiful shot Bjorn!

Post by: Bjørn Rørslett on March 30, 2016, 22:11:21: Sometimes all things click into position seen visually, but you aren't there at the proper place. Then run like the wind to make the image happen. As the image is already pre-formed, all that remains is get there and snap the picture.

The components of this snapshot are readily available of course, but I needed to get there quickly as the window of opportunity was extremely narrow. Can you see what the parts making up this picture are? (very simple and obvious answer, by the way)

Post by: Bjørn Rørslett on March 31, 2016, 02:16:57: Andrea and I were racing out of Tucson, Arizona, to get to the spot for which I had envisioned shooting the giant Saguaro cacti against the sunset. We had been there earlier, but sun position was all wrong, so had to wait until late in the afternoon.

However with the sinking sun reflecting off the side mirror in conjunction with Andrea's fast-paced driving (oh well, as fast as a Focus Escape can go, which is not NASCAR style), the tune and lyrics of the Pink Floyd song 'Two Suns in the Sunset'^* instantly filled my senses and I did my best to make that into an image. Not that easy within the cramped space at hand and Andrea believing I was about to fall out of the car which I nearly did. But I got my shot.

Title: Re: Sunrise to Sunset
Post by: Bjørn Rørslett on March 31, 2016, 02:19:44: (continued from last post)

When we finally got to the planned Saguaro location, the sun already had gone under the horizon. But now the planets Venus and Jupiter adorned the sky to make a striking contrast to the classic Saguaro shape.

Title: Re: Sunrise to Sunset
Post by: Bjørn Rørslett on March 31, 2016, 02:30:25: This is the morning sun rising over my local lake, during a period of severe cold. At that night we had down to -25C which of course is nothing extreme, but quite unusual for Oslo with its coastal climate. The lake still hadn't frozen over as it is quite deep and remains ice-free until late November or December most years. The recent spell of frost initiated ice sheet forming along the lake shores though. The supercooled surface water lapped against the edges of these ice sheets and made the lake into a giant ice-cube machine. Quite photogenic in fact and I spent many a cold morning there capturing these marvels of Nature.

It prepares the surprise for the gentle sunrise, the magic floating mountains and the open space at the top. Never stop the mountain´s desire to fly :)
