Solstice Sunset

[AlanLichty]

Sunset from a couple of nights ago. This is a 3 shot panorama using the 24mm lens on my drone above my driveway. I had hopes for a more colorful finish to this sunset but this was about as good as the color got that night. Click through for a larger view.

C&C always welcome.

Pretty nice sunset and now the worse is behind us and the days get longer.

Thanks Ben - I was wondering just how far south the sun would be as of the solstice just for shots like this. In mid summer it was almost out of the frame on the right hand side and it was hard to get Vancouver Lake in the frame at all for a sunset.

Thnx! It looks like my best season for taking advantage of the lake is now while I can collect reflections

I still like this color Alan. Not nuclear but very nice still.

Thanks Jim - haven't had all that many nuclear ones up here for a while now. I was glad I could go out and record where the sun angle is from here as seen from above.

I like that I have GPS coordinates, drone altitude above the launch point, compass heading, and gimbal angle for every shot I take. I could almost replicate each of the frames this scene using waypoints and retake the panorama through the seasons.
