Daylight Savings hit and we all “fell back” and Wisconsin replied, “Hold my cheese curds.” The very first sunset under the new schedule showed up at 4:49 PM and absolutely showed off. As a dad of three, that extra hour of evening darkness usually means earlier chaos… but this time it delivered pure magic.
I grabbed my Hasselblad and ran outside to shoot the sky, but the keeper wasn’t out in the cold...it was this frame from inside my house, looking out over the valley toward my neighbor’s farm. The window frames turned the scene into four mini paintings: rich magenta clouds, warm peach light, cobalt shadows, and rolling Wisconsin fields. A simple moment, but the color was chef’s-kiss worthy.
Tech Notes:
Hasselblad 907X/CFV 100C + XCD 38V · 1/800s · f/2.5 · ISO 1600 · Daylight WB 5500K · slight crop/rotate to refine composition · subtle sky darkening + midtone lift for separation · sRGB export.
