You know when people say that you don’t need to go far from home to make interesting photos? They are right, of course. In my case, the photos I am sharing today were taken in two different days, but at the same time of the day, sunset. I am lucky that my flat has a balcony facing north and the Arabian sea, so I have privileged views of the sunset over Muscat’s shoreline.
Sunset becomes more interesting when there are clouds, which was the case. I simply grabbed my camera and telephoto zoom lens, and took the photos as the sun was going down. In one the days, the humidity was high, so when I moved from the air-conditioned environment inside the house to the exterior, condensation formed in the lens. I noticed it upon inspecting the first shots in the camera screen; there was this nice ring around the sun, which gave the photos a different character. Hence, I shot a few more like this before cleaning the lens.
The second session happened a couple of days after we had some rain, so there were still some broody cloud formations over the city. These made an interesting background to the colorful sunset conditions.
Final note: I started this blog 10 years ago, in September 2014. Time flies, but I have enjoyed sharing my photography here. Hope you have enjoyed it too!
