IT was reaching dark, we had driven to see the whales at Scammons Lagoon and were driving back. As we came to the guard gate, we saw a car pulled to the side and the people had their hands raised. I gunned the car past and got away from something unknown and possibly dangerous. We then continued along the road which wound through the salt pans. I thought that the clouds would block the sun from shining from below the clouds and said we should just drive past. Lillian Roberts thought we should stop, so I did. Then magic happened. The whole sky began to glow. The sun peeked from below the edge of the clouds far to the west. I did a panoramic and the eastern sky while Lillian did the western sky. Her shot is awsome. We both had our images printed from 35mm to 30"x45" and they look great. Here is what I saw, the eastern sky with its magenta glow and the full moon. I know I used my Nikon F5, but I don't remember the lens or settings. So when someone with you suggests it might work, listen and don't just refuse to stop.
Eastern Sky, Sunset over the Salt Pans, Guerrero Negro, Baja, California, Mexico
