Red Autumn Sunset

There's not much out there that I like watching more than a November sunset.  The sky gets so nice and red, it's a real treat for the eyes.  I'm lucky to be living in a spot where not only do I get to see these sunsets on a regular basis, but I get to see them against the island of Montreal.  It was snowy and grey today, but just as we were getting to the hour where the sun was to disappear, the clouds began to break a little and let some light in.  I grabbed my camera and went to one of my favourite spots.  I usually crop tighter on the buildings, but I really liked the texture of the colour on the clouds, so I decided to make them the focus of my shot.  As I often do, I then sent the photograph off to CTV Montreal and weather specialist Lori Graham was kind enough to feature it during the newscast.  It's always nice to see my name on the big screen.  The photograph was taken at f/7.1, 1/160sec, ISO 400 at 95mm.  Take the time to look up in the late afternoon, you're often in for quite the sight.
