Delta Lake
I was at Delta Lake to capture the sunset. It was the moment the sun slipped below the horizon and typically signaled the end of the sunset experience. Most photographers know that the next thirty minutes can generally yield fantastic images as well as sky transitions into the blue hour. I was at the water’s edge waiting to see how the light from the disappearing sun would change the few clouds still scattered through the western sky when I turned to my left and saw the moon rising over the Delta Lake dam. The clouds in the East were still aglow for the sun with the moon sitting high and alone in the sky. Well, you don’t pass up a view like that…
Wonderful! So often I’ve found the perfect image behind me, just waiting to be noticed.
It happens more often than I think.
