Description
Sunday, October 4th 2009 gifted Tucson, Arizona and the skies west of the Tucson Mountains with one of the most magnificent and colorful sunsets I could ever hope to witness and photograph. Having recently converted from film to digital photography, I finally realized that digital film is very inexpensive, and instead of making a small selection of images I photographed this sensational scene from beginning to end. It took 18 minutes, and at the time of this photograph my camera was telling me that I had very little battery power remaining.
This photo is the 17th in an extensive sequence documenting a sunset that is now the yardstick that all others I may see will be measured. It was an 18 minute experience of extraordinary color. I captured this glorious scene at 6:18:20 PM, and the exposure was 1/10 second at f/11. Focal length of the lens was 52mm.
The entire sequence of this sunset can be seen in my Evolution of the Sunset, October 4th, 2009 collection. Use this link to go directly to the collection: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-douglas-taylor?tab=artworkgalleries&artworkgalleryid=1054227&page=1
