Sometimes you have to be ready to change your plans on a moment’s notice.
It looked at first like it was going to be an overcast morning, so I went to a location with an interesting foreground subject, but where much of the skyline was partially blocked by trees. After taking a few shots I went to adjust my camera and tripod with my back to the city. Just a few seconds later I turned back around and was shocked by what I saw. It was as if someone flipped a switch, and there was now suddenly a splash of bright pink illuminating the clouds.
Immediately I abandoned my current location and ran to the waterfront where I could get a clear shot of what was happening.
I got there just in time, and managed to get just one shot of the electric pink glow before the intensity faded less than 10 seconds later.
