Second Santa Fe Sunset: Zoom

2022-11-22 By Roger Edwards

Second Santa Fe Sunset: Zoom

[Part 2 of 2]  Zooming far into sectors of a sunset sky offers unique compositions that can vary vastly from the wide-angle or standard (about 50 mm) focal-length perspectives.  This brings out detailed texturing of an altostratus deck’s underbelly, backdropping a segment of a sun pillar.  From just a couple minutes before, a wide-angle sky view to the west and southwest is seen in Part 1.  Every cloud-decorated sunset or sunrise is a fluid art form unto itself, never duplicated before nor since, a gift from above.  Look skyward to start and end your day, and appreciate the view!

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
