Explanation:
Each day on planet Earth
can have a dramatic ending as the
Sun sets
below the
colorful
western horizon.
Often inspiring, or offering a moment for contemplation,
a sunset is perhaps the single most
photographed celestial
event.
Did you recognize this as a picture of one?
The image actually is a single exposure of the setting Sun
recorded near Wasserberg, Germany on May 11.
To create the uncommon sunset view the photographer used a
digital camera and a zoom lens (a lens with an adjustable
focal length).
During the 1/6 second long exposure he smoothly changed the
focal length while simultaneously rotating the camera,
altering the image scale and orientation.
The result transforms an objective depiction of nature
into an artistic
abstraction.
