Panorama of Dayton Skyline During a Late Summer Sunset

The Story:          A stormy sunset over the Miami Valley turned into a spectacular sunset over the Dayton skyline where low-hanging stratus clouds caught the last rays from the setting sun.  The calm Great Miami River reflected Dayton’s city buildings as well as the fiery colors from above.  This panoramic view of the Gem City skyline looks great on large framed canvas prints and is perfect for corporate art décor.

The Rest of the Story:  This was a sunset I almost did not chase.   I’ve learned the high cirrus clouds can really catch the light.  So when lower stormy clouds filled our skies, I wasn’t certain heading would lead to success.  However, when I checked my weather resources, I encouragingly noted clearing air over Indiana, so out the door I went.  My first stop was at the Riverscape Fountain of Lights where the setting sun light the fountain spray in impressively warm hues.  The subsequent panorama I shot is titled, Glowing Fountain of Light Spray, Dayton Ohio No. 1.

With the fountain display ending at sunset, I walked over to the Riverside Bridge which offers stunning views of the Dayton Skyline.  As the sun sank below the horizon, the warm light raked across the bottom of the stormy clouds.  As the sky reached peak color, I decided to create another sweeping panorama.  After shooting this 49-image sequence, I paused for 20 minutes before creating another 49-image panoramic sequence that’s the paired art print below.

Paired Prints:    Sometimes a print naturally pairs with another. Frequently, I’ve captured an image from the same location but under varying lighting conditions or during a different time of year.  In this case, I captured the paired print about 20 minutes after this scene:
