Sunset 360 Beauty, Pacifica 1/17/26

We started the day with a beautiful sunrise, which I posted earlier. The day ended just as spectacularly. I decided to go out with my camera and do a panning shot of the sky. I did multiple of those as the sun was going down. But then after the sun was down for a bit, the whole sky just lit up with amazing colors in every direction. I did a (nearly) 360 pan to try and capture it all.

It's a lot more unsteady than I would like. I wasn't set up, prepared or positioned to do a full 360. I couldn't do a "level pan" all the way around, or I'd miss quite a bit of the sky in certain parts, so I had to just loosen the ballhead and "free hand" it as best I could. I also needed to keep repositioning my feet as I moved all around the tripod. My hope is that people are more focused on what's going on in the sky and are a bit more forgiving of the extra motion.
