I bought a new photography related gadget and had gone out on Saturday night to test it out with the sunset cannon. The device worked fairly well but I had some more issues to work out so I headed out again with a plan to capture the Corinthian’s cannon fire.

As I crossed the causeway, I spotted a setting red sun in the rearview mirror and decided on a quick stop in front of the Eastern. I had a perfect spot from which to capture the setting sun and fired away as it made its way through cloud cover. At this point it had reappeared just as a seagull flew by and turned in this perfect spot between Abbot Hall and the red sun.

The sunset fizzled out after this and the Corinthian may have been closed tonight so I’ll have to play with that new gadget on another outing…
