Photographing Shotgun

During my trip to Bow Island and back, I got to be shotgun on many occasions.  Whilst riding shotgun, you get to look a lot and see a lot and periodically get some inspiration.  Coming into Calgary, I was struck by the setting sun and how it contrasted with the Rocky Mountains appearing more ghostly as a result.  Ignore the bug marks!

I snapped these pictures to try and capture what I was seeing.

What a difference 10 minutes makes!  I’m in the same seat but the sun has dropped on the horizon creating a different angle and, as such, an entirely different palette of colours.  If needed, I could use Photoshop for effects but this is straight from my camera.  Fuji Finepix S2000HD.
