Palm Trees & Sunset

11/8/08
The Southland: more palm trees in more places.
I went running today for the first time in weeks around sunset. I walked the last part and enjoyed the beautiful pink sunset, thinking I wish I had my camera. To my surprise, it was still quite lovely and colorful by the time I got home, so I grabbed my camera and went out to the street where there's a row of palm trees. I could only frame 3 of them without getting lampposts or street signs in the comp. Although I increased the contrast on this, the colors are pretty much what my eyes saw.
I used a tripod for the long shutter speed, but I just realized I forgot to turn off the VR on my lens. Oops. Still turned out pretty sharp though!
