Blue Sunset

Blue Sunset, originally uploaded by the patter.

As I drove home from work one evening, I saw the sun setting over a nearby field. The sky had an unusual purple quality to it. Just a couple of minutes down the road I came to the farm house, which sits on the corner of the small road you see in the photo. Turning down that road, I saw the image I wanted. I pulled over, got out and grabbed a couple of frames. By now the purple was not nearly as intense as it had been, but it was still beautiful.

But the final image was a bit dull compared to the moments before I could get to this location. So I brought back some of the color intensity by adjusting the white balance.
