"Rutland Dunn-set"
I glanced out my patio door as sun was setting and immediately realized that conditions were ripe for a "pop" so I hopped in car and quickly drove to a nearby pond on Rutland Dunn road that often serves as an impromptu foreground for sunset opportunities! Here's the image I thought was "best", which was stitched together from three separate shots using an already ultra-wide lens, so this image is ultra-ultra wide (about 180deg, corner to corner). I fell through the thin ice with tennis-shoes (into ankle deep mud) to get this shot, just FYI - all part of the "fun"!

Note - there is an alternate SQUARE FORMAT version vs. this narrower vertical 8x10 crop format - search for same title.

Image captured 12/5/20 with Pentax K-1 and Pentax DFA15-30mm lens at 15mm and three-shot stitched pano.

Peter Herman was born and raised on a farm in North Dakota. He first became interested in photography during high-school, and after acquiring a Pentax SLR, began taking photos for the school yearbook and developing/printing B&W images in school darkroom. He continued shooting through college, taking portraits, group pictures, weddings, but after beginning his engineering career at Cummins, he let his photography interests go dormant until about 2005 when he acquired his first DSLR and started shooting scenic landscapes from around the US, but concentrating especially on rural areas in ND and WI. Many of his images were encountered while riding motorcycle down random backroads during "golden hour", searching for that magic light...
