Back to capturing a sunset

I didn't really get out today like I have been lately, mostly because the weather was a little rainy and I knew that if I ventured out somewhere quite far that there would be a good chance at it raining. Not to forget to mention that it was also really cold throughout the day. Everything seemed to tell me to just stay inside. Though I kept an eye on the weather in case it did improve. Just around the time the sun began to set, things slowly did begin to clear up. But it was still a bit too late for me to venture out too far, given I definitely wouldn't have much time and light to deal with.

So I threw the DJI Mini 2 into the sky for a quick set of photographs around the area, nothing too fancy, but just as I noticed that the sky was starting to throw out some very nice tones, it felt worth capturing even if it yet again is another sunset. As I was taking the photographs a small group of birds flew into frame, I managed to capture a photograph with them in, which was nice. But I also wanted another without them in just in case the photograph ruined the image with the shutter speed I used. All that movement could've resulted in a lot of blur that ruined things, so grabbing another once they exited the frame seemed like a good idea.

I'm glad I did throw the drone up for a few short minutes and still get to take some pictures today. I was feeling a bit guilty about ruining the routine I had somewhat established over the past week. Ensuring I get a bit of fresh air and mix things up, still being creative. I knew a day like this was coming with the weather being the way it has been, though. I suspect soon we'll have a few days of rain that'll stop me from grabbing my daily photographs, but at that point there isn't really anything I can do about it. It's nice feeling super motivated about ensuring I take a few photographs each day, though. A lot happened over the past year that killed off my motivation, and as the weather improves I am looking forward to making videos again and exploring!
