Panoramic Galore!

Unfortunately the sunset was going away fast and I was on the road with no easy-while-driving access to my camera. I got home, ran to a open spot with my camera and shot it. Because it was already getting pretty dark, I had to use a slow shutter ... too slow for handheld. The lens only goes down to f5.6. I didn't want too much graininess in the dark areas so I chose a lower iso. A higher iso number (smaller aperture) would have forced me to use an even slower shutter. 10 minutes sooner, I would have used a tripod and had some time to think. Oh well ... not too bad for spur of the moment.

Too, I'm hoping to take a drive away from town, with some planning and get some late day, night time shots. In NW Ohio we have lots and lots of horizon as it is flat as far as the eye can see (The joke is, it's not totally flat; we do have highway overpasses. :) )
