Location
Sunset sky on a fantastic road trip, end of the year just before the New Years day, traveling along a beautiful scenic route in the Nelspruit area of South Africa when the sky lit to gold. We pulled onto the side of the road so as to thoroughly embrace this beautiful sky as well as for me to get in a quick shot.Time
Sunset in Summer, so just before 6pm in South Africa.Lighting
No filters and just the beauty of the sky itself was lighting enough.Equipment
My Nikon DSLR D3000 and handheld. No flash, no filter, just this glorious world in the raw state of beauty.Inspiration
Just the magnificence of the sky was reason enough. I prayed and hoped that I could take the picture and that the picture would not lose the fantastic golden colour, and I would do the sunset justice.Editing
Nope, no post-processing at all.In my camera bag
My Nikon, tripods and assortment of cleaning equipment, extra batteries fully charged, lenses of all types and sizes, wet wipes and tissues for my hands and the tears I shed at beauty I get to see and capture in my small lens world.Feedback
Love what you do, be passionate about what you want this world to say into your lens and ensure you believe in yourself and abilities.
