A dramatic sunset and bluebonnets – Ennis, Texas

Drove around Ennis for the 3rd times this season and thought it was gonna bummed out again then the sky slowly opened up as I passed Andrews road by the lake. Immediately, i noticed the calm water and subtle hues of orange projected on the pond just 20 minutes before sunset. What a timing! It drizzled not long ago.

The scene gradually turned color, from a dull grey sky to an intense red sunset as the sun approached horizon, and the wind conveniently died down (can do low iso). Time to break out the gears!

Quite a change! and it turned out to be a dramatic sunset after all. Furthermore, and finally I got to try out my new (used) Grad ND filter for the first time. Also, there’s a farm house on the other side of the lake, i thought about include it in the frame in landscape orientation but there’s not enough wildflowers on the foreground. It’s a pity that there aren’t much bluebonnets around that area.
