SUNSET, COVILL PARK – Red Wing, MN #exploremn #prettyredwing

SUNSET, COVILL PARK

Red Wing Photography Club September meeting was at Covill Park in Red Wing, MN this evening.  Perfect weather – mid 70s.  Hazy skies no doubt from the massive amounts of forest fires out West.

I shot several series of frames from the Mavic Mini drone for panorama and HDR compositions as well as a few single frame images.

The dynamic range on the Mavic Mini is not great; bracketing does the trick to make up for its shortcomings.

River Terrace Prairie Scientific and Natural Area at sunset Friday January the 11th, 2019.

Even viewed from a mile away, is a striking feature on the landscape. This site was protected as an SNA for its dry sand – gravel prairie (Southern subtype), which is ranked as an imperiled native plant community in the state. It occurs here on glacial outwash atop an isolated terrace of the Cannon River that rises sharply 30 feet above the surrounding lower terrace.
