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

great great balance. i love it. perfect timing. plus when i think of kansas, i think "carry on my wayward son" so that's a bonus. excellente!

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....

west virginia is bad? hm! i would have thought it would be better than kansas i'll take your word for it though, i've heard some pretty strange things about wet virgina's (hehe) tumors

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

well, i had to make some decisions on this one. the thing i liked about it was that the sun revealed the slight hills and stuff in the ground. when the sun went down further (i do have plenty of shots of it) it didn't show the ground, making it less interesting
