It wasn't until I tried taking pictures of a sunset from start to finish that I realized that the sun's reflection on the water lasts for only a few minutes. Taken at the
Manila Bay looking towards the hills of the
Bataan Peninsula.
See what's reflecting what at James' Weekend Reflections.
It all happens so incredibly fast doesn't it. You have captured this scene with much dleicacy, Hilda. The backlighting on the top of the cloud is a joy.
ReplyDeleteLove those lovely reflections across the water -- sunset or sunrise, they're all breathtaking! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Superb, Hilda. And yes, sunsets go very fast. I'm always surprised at how quickly the sun sinks below the horizon. Or, conversely, how fast the sun rises above the horizon in the morning. Gotta be quick!
ReplyDeleteAh, what a grand entrance, the lights and colors are so soft and magical!
ReplyDeleteThe reflection may have been very brief, but you captured it beautifully. The colors are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNature knows what it's doing. A great system.
ReplyDeleteYou caught the right moment.
Hilda I always enjoy sunset plus the occasional sunrise. I think a lot depends on the atmospheric conditions whether the reds or orange colour shows through.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes find the camera(DSLR) doesn't do a good job in defining the actual colours viewed by the eye.
Nice photograph and like the others I like the reflection and highlight at the top of the clouds.
absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeletei always set my camera to continuous shooting when i watch the sun sinks below the horizon. Most of the time, it turns into a golden sunset especially on a moderate elevation shot.
THis is a remarkable photo, Hilda! Beautiful! One of your best.
ReplyDeletestunning!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you composed this! And, of course, the sun reflections are just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous golden path! Great capture, Hilda!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful image, Hilda.
ReplyDelete;-D
This is so beautiful, Hilda. Fantastic capture.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Hilda, you captured it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI was just down by the river and saw the sunset. But I didn't really think about seeing how long the reflection is on the water. I'm glad you caught it though. Beautiful how the sun shines through the clouds ;D
ReplyDeleteLovely reflections in the water :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend :)
Interestingly, colors, images and a very good snapshot
ReplyDeleteSo true!
ReplyDeleteBtw, Dune fan? =P
Those amazing clouds are perfect for this sunset with (fast) reflection.
ReplyDeleteTrès beau reflet ... très beau coucher de soleil. On en rêve ... (Pardon pour l'anglais ...)
ReplyDeleteMagnificent capture, Hilda!
ReplyDeletewhat a moment to capture! Fantastic shot

Yes, so much changes in just a few seconds, doesn't it? This is a beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! I know what you mean, the other day I liked the way the sun was hitting an adobe wall, by the time I ran into the house to get my camera, the moment was gone!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous clouds!
ReplyDeleteA stunning magical sky, Hilda. Oh well done. So much depth and beauty to this photo.
