Dang - I Missed the Moment

Dang - I Missed the Moment · 07:58 PM

Walking back from the marina restaurant to our boat this evening, we watched a spectacular sunset - which peaked about a minute before I reached my boat, pulled off the hatch boards, grabbed my camera, yanked off my DA 18-250 (used earlier while under sail this PM), attached my DA 15 and climbed back into the cockpit. This shot is a pale imitation of what I missed only moments before; a reminder - if I needed one - that sunsets are all about timing.

We're staying aboard for two or three nights, so maybe I can hit the sweet spot the next time.

Don't tell anyone and they would never know you missed anything. This is great as it is.

I think it turned out great Jer. Good luck on the next few nights. JIM

Don't think you missed a darn thing. Nice shot Jer.

Far as I can see you didn't miss anything Jer. Really nice sunset. Love the colors how they mingle with the clouds.

Thanks, all, for the kind words. If you could've seen the sky just moments earlier, you'd understand my frustration. I'll keep after it as the opportunities arise.

This is great too! I can just wonder how it was earlier!

Great shot and great colours.

Hmmm. You're so right, this one sucks.

No, I like it very much Jer!
