Using a long zoom lens, late in the sunset cycle and close to the horizon, can bring in the very richest of reds and yellows when color overhead has passed its peak. There’s neither a need nor desire to mess with image saturation when the composition and timing make it happen for real. That’s exactly how it worked to frame one of the most stunning sandwiches of cloud hues seen in a very long time in these parts–and that’s saying something, dazzling as Okie sunsets can be.
