Greeted With a Nice Sunset in New York City

Greeted With a Nice Sunset in New York City:

I was coming back from fishing last week, and I saw a really nice sunset.  In fact, I don’t remember a time when I saw such a red sky here in New York City.  It felt like I was on Mars or something (I don’t think this was related to the alignment of Mars, the Sun, and the Moon that occurred last week).  I took pics with my iPhone but it was getting dark, and the car was moving too fast (I was not driving).  Plus, with the amount of potholes in that area of Queens (actually, all of New York City), I’m not sure that road can even be called a paved road anymore ;).

Luckily, I live by the motto, “take your camera everywhere you go”, so I did bring my Fuji X-E2.  I took a few pics but again, I was in a moving car, it was dark, and there were plenty of other cars on the road that got into my frame, so I didn’t get any really great shots. I was thinking, “Man, I wish I could be at my favorite spot in Brooklyn right now with my camera set up on a tripod” but hey, you can’t plan every moment, right?  The important thing was I just wanted to record it for myself, and remember it.  Anyway, I kind of like this shot, so I thought I would post it up.  It was shot at 3200 ISO on the Kosciuszko Bridge, and with the XF 18-55mm at F2.8 because I needed a really fast shutter speed to compensate for the moving car.

I hope everyone is having a great Monday.  Thanks for visiting!
