52 Week Project: Week 31

During a week-long work trip to the Duluth/Iron Range area, I found a decent amount of time to get out and shoot after hours. As I was sitting in my hotel room in Mountain Iron, MN, the sunset was way too good to pass up. I shot a few frames from my window and then moved outside to capture a couple more. Next to my hotel was a small pond/drainage area that provided a nice reflection of the light (as well as a small stake I could rest the camera on). I metered for the yellow/orange just above the tree line and came out with this.

The only post production was to crop out some parking lot lights on the right side. Other than that, this is what came out of the camera.

Exposure: 1/50 sec, Aperture: f/8.0, Focal Length: 28mm, ISO 400
