I was photographing wind turbines in the hills of Western Pennsylvania when I turned around as the sun popped out of the clouds for a few moments before setting. I swung the tripod around and captured my vehicle and surrounding hillside bathed in the day’s last light.
Approach
My Approach was to compose quickly and nail exposure for the shadows. This scene lasted about 2 minutes total. The best shot is as the sun just begins to break the clouds.
Results
The result is a great portfolio image of an Auto-scape. Interestingly, the scene looked as beautiful by eye as it does on screen. This image has basic contrast and color adjustments.
