When master photographer Winston Rockwell picks up a camera, you
can bet the results will be simply breathtaking. A perfect case in
point is today's picture, and here is Mr. Rockwell to tell us about
it:
"Sunsets are among my favorite photographic subjects, but I
hadn't taken any for quite some time; between unfavorable
weather
conditions, or other priorities, I'd somehow gotten out
of the habit
of looking to the west in the evening to see what
Mother Nature had
in store.
Last Friday evening, though, was different. I had gone to the
park
to try to capture some photos of the wood ducks that live
there, but
they weren't cooperating, and I was about to head
home when
something made me glance westward. I couldn't
actually see the sun -
it had sunk behind a low hill - but the
clouds looked promising for
a colorful sunset so I drove a
couple of miles to another park on
the eastern shore of the
lake, and was rewarded with this stunning
view.
Once again, Mother Nature put on an incredible show, painting
the
sky as I watched with amazing shades of red, gold, pink and
violet.
It just goes to show, God puts wonderful beauty in this
world, and
all we have to do is take the time to see it.
This image was captured with a Canon 5D and Tamron SP24-135
lens at
24mm, 1/80 sec @ f/7.1." --Winston Rockwell

Mr. Rockwell, I have been admiring your work on this site for quite
some time, and I keep waiting for you to submit a mediocre picture.
It appears that I'm wasting my time. As always, a simply superb
photograph!

Stunning colors in this sunset, much like the one I saw here just
the other day. Unfortunately, I don't have it within me to capture
such beauty as with this with a camera. The world is truly blessed
to have wonderful photographers who are willing to share their
"bounty" with the world.
