Sunset at the September equinox, in this case on September 22, 2021, which was the evening of the day of equinox this year, which occurred on the afternoon of Sept. 22. Thus the Sun is settting very close to due west, marked by the direction of the prairie highway. After the date of the September equinox the Sun sets farther to the south of west, until the December solstice. I shot hiis to illustrate the equinox alignment. This is a 7-exposure blend, from a short 1/3200-second image for essentially just the Sun's disk, to 1/50th second for the sky and foreground. All were with the 24-105mm RF lens at f/11 and 105mm, and the Canon EOS Ra at ISO 100. The images were blended not with HDR but with luminosity masks created with the ADP Pro (aka Lumiflow) extension panel for Photoshop, which does an auto-blend for up to 7 images. I added a mild Orton glow effect with Luminar AI. Dodge and burn touchups added with TKActions v8. I shot this same scene from the same location the evening before, thinking this night would be too cloudy. But clouds cleared off just in time to shoot the sunset.
