Post-Rain Sunset

After a long afternoon of rain, I headed out to photograph the sky. The weather had been with a light but constant drizzle that finally calmed down, leaving behind a scene with a very pleasant view. It is common in this region for the sky to clear up into a very orange sunset after a storm, and I wanted to document that image.

The sunset was very bright. The intense orange tone reflected off the damp surfaces of the city, creating a good environment for photography. The challenge in these situations is to balance the fading sunlight and the increasing darkness, since the camera's exposure makes it difficult to capture certain elements. Fortunately, the clouds always seem to absorb the light and enhance certain colors, spreading the light quite a bit across the sky, creating an aesthetic that does not exist in other climates.
