Description
I was in the middle of a field, on a ladder, shooting this. I was there for about 30 minutes, waiting for the perfect moment when the clouds weren't blocking the sun.
This is a panorama of 5 images put together in Hugin together with Enblend. Major thanks go to ~cody29 for helping me out with Enblend! Enblend works well; this is probably the best-looking panorama I have ever done.
Equipment:
Pentax *ist DL
Pentax 18-55mm
Cokin P121 Graduated ND filter
Aluminum ladder
Hugin/Enblend
GIMP: crop, curves, saturation

i used to think kansas was so boring looking. but then when i went to west virginia (hehe, i accidentally typed "wet virginia" at first...) where you can never see the sunsets because the enormous tumors in the ground get in the way, i realized how incredibly beautiful this place i live in is. now it seems like every single day that i drive to work i find myself gawking at the amazing clouds, and the sunsets are even better. what a sucker i've become!!
anyway, i like this. props.

hehe, everybody else i've talked to thinks mountains are fantastic, but i personally hate them.
but i guess that's just me being weird.
i mean, in pictures they look amazing, but in real life they're disorienting, driving in them makes me motion sick and the pressure changes make my ears hurt, and they make me incredibly homesick and i feel like i can't ever access solid ground. odd? maybe....

Try taking it at a slightly different time. A lot of sunset/sunrise photos are all about precise timing
