Golden Sunlight on the Trees


At the end of the day I photographed all the snow, I needed to get something from one of the upstairs bedrooms.  I just happened to see THIS when I glanced out the window!  I cokuldn't believe my eyes.  I have never seen anything like this before around here.  The sky was overcast, and just before the sun set there was a break in the clouds and the orange sunlight lit up these few trees which were tall enough.  My main camera now, the SONY a7 was downstairs and I knew I didn't have much time.  So my Canon 6D was in a bag in the bedroom and I quickly grabbed it, turned it on and shot through both the window glass and the storm window!  I got about eight frames and then the light faded!  Man oh man!  I think the total time this phenomenon lasted was less than 4 minutes. Whew!  Well, at least I got it!

Such an unusual photo with the different lighting. Glad you have so many cameras around so you could capture this shot within minutes of seeing it. Only you can do this.

The color just jumps off the page! That is a “money shot”!
