Shawnee National Forest, Southern IllinoisTime
Just about sunset time. Hiked with a friend of mine, his family and little one. It rained a little bit and almost gloomy. I thought, it was a washout when I saw the sunstar coming out.Lighting
a beautiful drizzle, followed by a burst of light did all the magicEquipment
Nikon D90, 18-105mm kit lens, Induro Tripod, RRS ball head.Inspiration
Every Sunset is different. I thoroughly enjoy how belittling a sunrise and sunset can be. Helps me totally relax. When I was hiking up the Shawnee national forest, the minute I saw the light, drizzle, I saw the endless Dynamic Range. It was truly a treat.Editing

Nikon D610 (currently), nifty fifty, craving for a good wide angle after moving to full frame.Feedback
Plan ahead, Enjoy the scenery, captivate it and then try to point your camera. A sturdy tripod, wireless remote and a good ball head makes a big difference.
