Haven't done a sunset photo series with a color palette in a while, so here:

One subject, three lenses, let's fucking goooo

Back in the Cohost days ["COHOST MENTIONED" ALARM SOUNDS] I used to regularly post these "one subject, three lenses" projects where I'd slap three different lenses on my camera and try to capture the same thing to get as much variance as possible, but for sunsets in particular I'd include a color palette made out of that sunset's colors.

They were a lot of fun to too and I just kinda stopped when Cohost died. I still do them every once and a while on here but I don't think I've done a palette since like...2024? so here we go! Three photos of the same sunset with different camera lenses, and a color palette at the end:

Photo of the sun with some tree branch twigs in silhouette in the foreground; handwritten in the lower left is '400mm' and a drawing of a camer
Photo of trees in silhouette in front of a setting sun; handwritten in the lower left is '100mm' and a drawing of a camera
The sun is a tiny dot in the distance and a tree in silhouette takes up most of the frame; handwritten in the lower left is '20mm' and a drawing of a camera
6 scratched up color tiles are taped to a black construction paper background; they have their hex codes written in white ink on them;#F7B88D,#A26357,#01507D,#775F65,#3B3846 and #25222F #F7B88D #A26357 #01507D #775F65 #3B3846 #25222F

If that color sample inspires you in any way, make something and let me see it! I might try to do something in it this week for fun as well.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Here's your end-of-post cat. His name is Smokescreen Chip and he's claimed the top of the fridge.
