Folsom River
It was 3:45PM today (Sunday), and I was at the park with my kids letting them ride around on their bikes. I kinda noticed some clouds forming in the area of the setting sun, and thought it might actually turn out to be a decent sunset. So after the kids were done riding, we went home, and I took off to Folsom Lake for sunset.
My favourite shooting location at Folsom Lake is Old Salmon Falls. There is no lake there at this time of year. It is just a flowing river. I like it that way actually, flowing rivers are cool, peaceful, and soothing. Lakes are boring. But it is not really good, I guess, that the lake is so low. Well, it will fill up again soon.
Anyway, I found a nice spot by the river just in time for sunset. It wasn’t really much of a sunset and it really didn’t look like it would amount to anything really good, so I took some long exposure shots, then packed up and left. Well, as it turned out, I did leave a little bit early. The sky turned quite a bit nicer after I had left. Oh yeah, I should have known better. Now I am just determined to come back here again and get that better shot.
