Jordan Lake



On Monday night, we had a decent sunset in central North Carolina. I've been wanting to get a shot of the sun going down over nearby Jordan Lake, so I convinced my wife to let me snap a few shots on the way home from some appliance shopping.

By the time we got to the section of the lake where I wanted to take the picture, the sun had already fallen below the trees. Ideally, I would've gone down to the water and taken the shot from there, but I didn't have a lot of time, so I just snapped 12 shots from the bridge. This one was my favorite.

Unfortunately, the proximity to several airports probably means that I'm never going to get a clean cloud shot around Chapel Hill. Plane exhaust is pretty much a given.

In the future, I'd like to get a wide angle lens and repeat the shot, in order to see if I can get a bit more curvature to the image.
