OMG!!!!!
I was going to recreate your pic
night before last...... walked outside with the Nikon on the tripod.....(settings set inside) and faced the camera to the
west.
I looked up at the sky once again.....then
hung my head in shame ...picked up the tripod and went back inside.......I wasn't sure if I was going to post my little story but hey all fun. ( what was that thread where you tell your boo boo's????)
I'll try tomorrow morning whilst at work ( this morning Perth had rain and clouds - of course).

...whats that Homer????? DOOOOOH!!!!!
