Sunset in Vog - 10/10/2012

The voggy weather in the past few days was so humid that it reeeeally sucked..However, I  realized how beautiful the affect it made on sunsets. After several missed attempts, finally sucesss! I finally was able to make it in time to watch the sunset from the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor.  Since I parked quite a bit away and didn't want to lug my gear, I used the trusty Lumix again.  When I got there shortly before 6pm, it was still bright.  I was kinda disappointed there was not enough vog to filter the sun's brightness.

I switched between Program mode and Sunset mode to see how I can block the sun's bright light.

After a bit, the sun was low enough and I decided to set my camera to Sunset mode which gave the shots deeper tones.  I'm glad w/ even near max zoom, the shots came out sharp and not blurry.

I'm not sure if the sun would look as large had I gone to Magic Island or perhaps it was an optical illusion, but it looked HUGE.

I snapped away until the sun finally disappeared under the clouds low on the horizon.

I took a picture of the vog this past Sunday morning. The still air had made it worse.
