These two images were shot seven minutes apart. The first --a pano comprised of 8 images stitched in LR-- was shot at 6:10 pm, the second at 6:17 pm, two evenings ago. Apart from the clone brush removal of a couple of jet contrails, neither has been modified greatly apart from minor cropping and light sharpening. A few minutes after the second image was exposed, direct sunlight was blocked by the higher land a mile or so to the west, and everything but the distant LaSal Mountains fell into shade. I'd hoped for a rosy, salmon-colored glow on the mountaintops, but that never materialized.
Actual sunset occurred a few minutes afterward, but under the light that was, the difference in overall coloration between the resulting two images was not surprising, but it was remarkable.
Thank you so much for sharing your photos with us, they are outstanding in detail and composition... The light changes very quickly. Last night as I was leaving work there was a snow squall coming from the southeast and a sunset to the west. No camera quickly available but I was able to capture it with my Samsung S9+. I have not had the time yet to get it into the computer ...

Very goods shots and informative narrative, Jim!
Thanks, folks.
ultra-Bob: my iPhone is usually on my hip, but I seldom use it for pix except for recording the 'view' from whatever GPS waypoint I've arrived at (weird but true: GPS w/iPhone is as accurate as my $$$ Garmin hand-held GPS unit. Hmmmm....) But that's me, not you. I wanna see your Samsung capture of your snow squall........
Jerry: yup --and thanks-- I kinda like it, too.
Doc: awwwww, thanks.......... everyday images (well, sorta; all-day rain today means I won't be anywhere 'off road' --where most of the better places around here are -- for a while) 'round the 'hood.
long: 'thumbs up' back atcha! And a tip-o-the hat, too!
and Mike: next time --soon?-- our watering hole stop is on me. But only after we've hit one or two of the out-of-town highlights beforehand....

The leg is getting better, so I suspect it will be soon. Momma has to come back from the grand baby duty first.
That's a WOW. Nice shooting, Cany.
Sorry the mountains never "got down with their salmon selves," as it were, but the 6:17 light is glorious enough that I wouldn't call your time there a miss in any sense. And once again, as with the dunes earlier this week, you've caught just the right foreground light. Sublime!
Very nice. At the right place at the right time!
Very nice shots. Detail in both is fantastic. I think I like the second one better - prolly because of the warmer light.
