Not particularly spectacular, but rather quietly and inconspicuously, the sun set on Friday evening in front of the jetty of the Rebgut Haltnau in Meersburg. From the west the clouds of the announced bad weather front were already moving in, in the east the sky was still cloudless and clear.

Location
This is the jetty of the Haltnau winery near Meersburg on Lake Constance in winter, without boatsTime
Sunset - the best time of the day after sunrise! :-)Lighting
I was hoping for more color in the clouds, but the weather is not always what you want it to be... Nevertheless, the horizon shone in beautiful warm colorsEquipment

The jetties on Lake Constance are always a good foreground for sunrises and sunsets. In order not to always photograph the same jetty, you have to change location every now and thenEditing
Just cropping and contrast adjustmentIn my camera bag
First and foremost, I photograph landscapes. I have two lenses in my backpack for this genre: the Canon EF 16-35mm f / 4L IS USM and the Canon EF 24-105mm f / 4L IS USM. Various ND and GND filters as well as a tripod are of course always included. If the way to the photo spot is not too long or too difficult, I also like to take the Tamron 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 SP Di VC USM with me for detailed shots. Occasionally I do astrophotography with the Tamron SP 15-30mm f / 2.8 Di VC USD, but this thing is so heavy that it is only taken for that special occasion. My second big passion is wildlife photography. Here I have the Tamron SP 150-600mm F / 5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (also very heavy and therefore not always in the rucksack) for the larger and more abrasive specimens and the Tamron SP 90mm 1: 2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD for the tiny ones I use all those lenses with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV My newest toy is a drone: the dji Mavic 2 pro for unusual perspectives, abstractions and a view over the fogFeedback
