A FLEETING MOMENT

That was definitely the case this cold January morning.  It was just under 30 degrees, but the 5 mph breeze out of the east (across a huge sheet of ice) made it seem significantly colder.  It was mostly cloudy upon arrival and after a bit, there was only a hint of color on the horizon; them boom!  The color came.  And just like that the color was gone just as quickly as it appeared.  It was a fleeting moment of spectacular color.

Some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth photographing in the cold January weather.

Here are three frames captured 40 minutes apart.

D700 | ISO 200 | f/7.1 | 4 seconds | 16 mm

D700 | ISO 200 | f/7.1 | 1/20 second | 16 mm

D700 | ISO 200 | f/7.1 | 1/30 second | 16 mm

A 4 second clip that encompasses those 40 minutes.

I am really happy with both the vertical and horizontal panorama shots.

Mavic 2 Pro | ISO 100 | f/3.5 | 1/20 seconds | 10.26 mm | 7 Frames

I shot my first automated drone 360 sphere this morning.  The images looks interesting.

After a bit of manipulation in Photoshop – viola.  Sunrise-o-sphere.
