Monroe Street Sunset
When I came out of the County Market this evening, I saw the start of another delicious sunset. My photographer’s brain immediately started thinking, can I get my groceries in the car and set up in time to capture it?
To save time trying to find a better position, I just drove to the bottom of the sloping parking lot and found an opening, next to the gas station, for my shot. Quickly mounted camera to platform on my window and started composing and shooting. I thought that a multiple exposure with bracketed f-stops might give me some interesting HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos to work with.
I believe I was right!
This is one busy street.
It’s one of the main four-lane roads from the middle of town to the far West. It feeds into Route 4 which is a major North-South State road from one side of Springfield, IL to the other.
Lots of traffic here. You see the ghostly cars in this 3 shot composite.
Lots of telephone and cable lines as well as street lamps.
Over it all, is that magnificent sky, with the sun beaming it’s day’s-ending rays to tint the clouds this lovely pink-orange.
I’m a sucker for a good sunset.
