I found myself without a subject when sunset occurred; it turned out to be one of the only good ones that I had seen that season. I simply tried a shot of the dirt road that I was on and liked the way it turned out.
Sunset at Hecla Island provincial park in Manitoba, Canada. After the sun had set I tried some long exposures and liked them better than the shots with the sun in the frame. This is a cropped panorama; one of the perks of shooting with a lot of megapixels is that the cropped panoramas are still high resolution.
I've been back to the East side of Lake Winnipeg about seven times now trying to get the shot I'm envisioning of a backlit wave. I still don't have the shot I want, but I was happy with this one as a black and white shot.
