For the past several days the humidity has been extremely low and it has been very dry causing a lot of dust in the atmosphere. This has resulted in some beautiful sunsets that Becky and I have admired from Lake Seminole. Today we decided to go on a photo excursion and what happens, the humidity returns and sky is not as beautiful as it has been for the past several days. But we were ready and headed out to see what we could find. We saw an interesting scene down Drake Farm Rd. (a dirt road) and headed out to investigate. An irrigation system was spraying water across the dirt road. As I began to stop the truck began to slide sideways toward the ditch. We stopped just short of the ditch and as I tried to back out we just continued to slide toward the ditch. I got out and Becky took the wheel after almost falling down when she stepped out. It was like walking on grease. I could not push the truck because my feet kept slipping out from under me. Finally I braced myself against the vertical side of the ditch and pushed the truck back away from the ditch as Becky backed up. About 50 yards of doing this and we were back on a firm surface. We continued on to find a good spot to photograph the sunset. We finally found this irrigation system in a peanut field on River Rd. near Fennell Rd. The pivot was extending very near the road and gave us a good angle to view the sunset though the pivot system.
Above are the images I took. All but the very bottom image are HDR images. I used a Canon 50D and except for the B&W images I used a Sigma wide angle lens. The two B&W images were shot using a Canon 70-200 telephoto lens. Just wish the cloud bank to the far west had not been there. Maybe another day.
