I Love This Time Of Year! Tonight's Donner Lake Sunset
It was another incredible sunset tonight!!! And it was another one where I ate my dinner as fast as I could, grabbed my gear, and ran across the street just in time to capture these scenes. This time of year, we tend to get some super vibrant sunrises and sunsets. We also still have a lot of fall colors around. Mix the two... and perfection!!!
Both of these were shot with the Canon 5DS R and a 16-35mm lens. No lens filters were used. But again, two flash units were used in order to get those fall colors to pop and not be a dark silhouette.
I'm having just one little problem with these. I can't decide which one I like better! I went for the second one as my cover image. What do you think? Which one is your favorite? The first one looking to the east with the moon in the shot, or the second one looking to the west with those vibrant red and orange clouds.
Once again, happy photographer!
Thanks for looking and I hope you all had another great day.

Even without editing the pictures, they look very cool
I love it when everywhere is colorful
The sky is so beautiful
It's that fun when there is color to the whole sky!? I love it.
The beautiful view of the sunset. This is looking so amazing 😍
Glad you like that view!
Clocks will fall back soon and fix your problem with dinner happening at sundown 😂🤣😂 I like both shots too. The second is more sexy - brighter richer colors. I like the composition of the first one better with the docks and detailed far shore. The second will get more clicks but I would be more likely to put the first one on my wall
Ha! Yup, it will.
Great analysis, thank you for your detailed opinion, and I agree!
Wow!! Amazing sunset shots! I can't decide which one I like better either but I'm leaning more towards the second one. I love the way the vibrant red and orange clouds contrast with the blue sky and the dark water. The first one is also very beautiful, especially with the moon in the shot. But I think the second one has a more dramatic and eye-catching effect.
Thank you @malos10! Yes, that second one has been getting a lot more attention on the different social medias. It's been the crown favorite! Glad you like them both.
that one is really good!

In the evening when the sun goes down, the view looks more beautiful and the clouds also look more beautiful.
Indeed!!! Sunrise is never bad either...
Yeah.
