Behind The Lens

Location

A few weeks ago, I was flying back into Seattle after a week away from home. The residual smoke through the Pacific Northwest brought out this beautiful pink hue through the sunset as we prepared for descent into Sea-Tac airport right at the cusp of dusk leading to a surreal sunset though the sky!

Time

I was lucky enough to be scheduled for landing around 9 PM that night which was peak sunset hour for the beginning of August.

Lighting

Nature took care of this for me but I think the shot through the window of an airplane definitely helped maintain the ethereal look from the sky.

Equipment

Canon EOS RP with a 50 MM EF 1.8 mounted with the F mount adapter.

Inspiration

I'd been looking forward to this sunset flight for a while and when I saw this incredible pink hue through the clouds, I couldn't resist the shot

Editing

I used Lightroom to bring out the pink and blue hues through the sky and used a decent amount of Dehaze to help bring out the silhouette of the Olympic Mountains over the sound in the background.

In my camera bag

Typically I carry my EOS RP, my F mount 85 MM 2.0 Macro, F 24-105 4-7.1 Kit Lens, and my 50 mm EF 1.8

Feedback

Plan your flights according to the light you want to capture, Expose for the highlights and use post-processing to bring out the colors from the experience to capture the ambiance of the moment.
