Cloudy sunset across Admiralty Bay, Bequia
It looked as though it was going to be a great sunset. Clouds were spread across the sky in a great pattern, ready to catch the golden glow of the sun once it had set below the horizon. I setup the camera, took some test shots and waited for the sun to set and for the light show to start.
I chose one of my favourite spots for looking out across Admiralty Bay, high up on the ridge, in a friends garden.
Unfortunately, as the sun set, all of the clouds disappeared! Very frustrating, but that's how it goes and here, it happens quite frequently.
So here's one of the test shos from earlier, as I watching the clouds, rather than the sunset. Its a blended shot, as shooting into the sun always causes issues and although there was a light layer of cloud, it wasn't thick enough to stop the glare from the sun itself. I also stopped down to F22 to try and capture the starburst.
