A Capitol Evening – 100th Post!Posted by drfl on May 5th, 2009

Last week I took a small jaunt down to Frank Shoemaker Marsh near Lincoln, Nebraska.  I had pretty good success last September with a stellar sunset and it appeared that there would be potential again.  After hiking around a bit, it got dark and the sunset colors never appeared.  Determined to not come home empty handed, I headed to the capitol building to see if I could salvage part of the night.  The light in the sky was almost completely gone, but there was a bit of a dark blue hue that remained when I arrived.  I setup and quickly took about a dozen shots.  There was some major construction going on and I didn’t have a lot of time to scout some good locations, but I felt satisfied that I had something.  I hope to make it back down there this summer with a little more preparation to get a couple more shots of the unique architecture.

Additionally, I would like to note that this is my 100th blog entry!  Here’s to 100 more!
