After the Storm (Original Photography)

[fotosdenada]

Howdy,

Today's storms were pretty intense, with some tornado warnings and no lack of ground-to-sky lightning strikes. Just before sunset, the clouds broke apart. When this happens, the sky is usually particularly beautiful.

^{Are They Watching, Too?}

I generally avoid sunset photos, unless I can get an interesting foreground. They all sort of look the same, otherwise! This little graveyard near Mankato was just the thing. A fog began to roll in and, if the cemetery hadn't been on higher ground, I would have stuck around for some spooky "foggy tombstone" photos.

^{Very Corny Sunset Photo}

This corn field must have been planted a little later. Many fields have already been harvested, but this one has at least a couple weeks before it will be ready. The clash of vertical corn plants and horizontal clouds caught my eye.

^{Foggy River Valley}

I took a similar photo to this the last time we had fog, but this time I was better prepared! I found a spot that I could fully pull off the roadway and set up a tripod. There were a couple towers on the horizon with red blinking lights, which I edited out in Adobe Lightroom. The shot was a thirty-second exposue, which turned the clouds into smooth, dreamy blurs.

Tomorrow is the first day of my semester, starting with office hours at 8:00. It was nice to get out and take some landscape photos before the busy and stressful season gets under way.

How did you get into a cemetery? The photos looks cinematic though.

[fotosdenada]

Thanks!

There are quite a few small cemeteries in the countryside around here. Some date back to before the US Civil War.

Eh? It could've been pretty freaky shooting there.

[fotosdenada]

These little cemeteries are peaceful and beautiful in their way; silent, still. The strangely dressed child didn't show up in the photo.

Shut up!

In my opinion the 3rd one is the best of all ! The fog "gives" a mystery sense on it .

[fotosdenada]

The long exposure time helps with that, too. The clouds and drifting fog become smooth.

Niebla y color rosa? jejje eso si que no lo había visto nunca! :) una foto genial, cheers!

[fotosdenada]

La niebla es azulado, más o menos. Se ven los colores rojizos por los últimos rayos del sol. Estaba esperando que saldríaa la luna pero estaba escondida detrás de las nubes.

Es una foto preciosa 😊👍 no se si la luna la mejoraría o atraería demasiado la atencion... Ya no lo sabremos! Jejejej 😌
