Color explosion reloaded

Posted on August 5th, 2014

I see it coming, thick clouds at the sky above me and at the horizon bright blue. It was bound to happen, when the sun is appearing again at the horizon and the whole blaze of color bangs it under the cloud cover.
This shot is a single shot and not an HDR bracket series, like I do it otherwise. The sky was really that colorful and the only utility I used, was a speedlight to brighten up the apple blossoms in the foreground. There are sometimes such spectaculare sunsets, really!

Color explosion

Yesterday was it not possible for me to write a post, because I made this image, and some more…
On my way home I was a little disappointed about the bad weather conditions. Dark clouds above me and no sunshine, but after I was outside the town and near my home village, I saw the horizon. And there weren’t any clouds. So what will happen, when the sun passing the clouds and come near the horizon where no clouds are? Right, it will send all the red light under the clouds and we will become a memorable sunset. And so it happend!
