Orcas Porcas It's 1 in the Morning

Soooo, last night and today Maclin and I went over to Orcas for photos and some videos. Friday night was probably one of the most amazing sunsets of the summer, if not the year. There was super high, and almost complete cloud cover. At first we thought that was going to ruin the sunset, but it turned out to be the thing that made the night. The sun reflected off the ocean, the land, and basically everything to turn the world into a surreal orange glow land thingy. Plus, there was mist and flog along the mainland so that everything was just exceptionally epic.

For shooting this one, I shot at ISO200, f5.6, 1/50 and 41mm. I wanted to zoom in a bit to get more of a view of the mountains, and less of the foreground. I got pano shots of both focal lengths, but I really liked the tighter one. But since it was zoomed in, it took 20 shots to get a full 180 degrees. And used a tripod, definitely used a tripod.

Here's what the editing process looked like.

And for the next day, we got up for sunrise, and it was kinda lameeeee. No clouds :( but down by the lake it was pretty cool! The sun was hitting a mountain, and it was reflecting off the lake. Pretty cool shot, so I took a 3 shot bracket starting at ISO100, 19mm, f22, 1/20. I wanted to use a longer shutter speed so that the water would look nice and soft.

Here's the editing process on that....

See you tomorrow!
