Deep Blue Sunset, KamogawaPhoto dataCameraNikon D700Focal length28mmAperturef/3.5Shutter1/40sISO200Taken18 Jul 2012, 23:30

It was a magnificent sunset the other day on the Kamogawa River. Here you can see the full width of the sky with yellows and oranges mixed with a deep blue. The focus of the light as all funneled to the back left corner and down, which made the river and the rest of the sky an interesting contrast.

I normally take most photos with a 50mm lens, but for this sunset I decided to add more depth to the river and capture more of the sky, so this is shot at 28mm.

I have put this picture as a limited edition print up on a smugmug album if anyone is interested. Also you can find it on 500px if you prefer.
