Just to Mess With Your Time Sense, Here’s a Sunset Photo First Thing in the Morning

I know! It’s too early to be messing with you like this! Yet here I am doing it. It’s because I’m a bad man. Just so that’s out there.

    This is a GREAT photo.
    Excellent work!

  2. I’ll just pretend it’s a sunrise, because that’s still happening here. (Beautiful!)

  3. Kelly Naylor says:

    Yeah, like we didn’t already know you’re a bad man. But, dang! That’s gorgeous and well with the mind-messing.

  4. Brandon says:

    what kind of camera/lense do you use again? Your shots are always ridiculously gorgeous.

  5. John Scalzi says:

    This one was taken with my Nikon 5100 with the 18-55mm lens it came with, with the RAW file cleaned up in Photoshop and the outputted jpeg filtered through Camerabag 2.

  6. Greg says:

    Ben Franklin might question whether it was a sunset or sunrise….

    Just saying.

  7. Mr Teufel says:

    You ain’t messin’ wit’ my head none. It’s midnight here in Australia.

  8. Mike says:

    He is seriously messing with my timeline! I just had lunch!

  9. tylertork says:

    O my god I am so confused!

  10. Mia says:

    That is a BEAUTIFUL picture. Thanks for sharing! (Even if you are trying to mess with our heads!)

  11. Amy Thomson says:

    I just thought you were having a really colorful dawn!

  12. Gorgeous pic, as always! :-)

  13. Beautiful shot.
    (chemtrails and all . . .)

  14. Kevin Doucette says:

    Joke’s on you. The sun just set here in the Sandbox.

  15. stoicjim says:

    You kinda suck at being bad.

  16. Ginn says:

    Love that bad plaid sky.

  17. zaphod1984 says:

    Sun is setting here (Germany), I’m fine with the picture… :)

  18. NotSMOF says:

    Dude, it’s never the wrong time to post beautiful pix!

  19. You are, indeed, a bad, bad man. You’re making me want to get out and shoot while I’m stuck here working.

  20. paigevest says:

    That is absolutely gorgeous. It almost looks like a painting!

  21. Alex says:

    you would have seen the sunset/sunrise this morning over Mt. Hood, had high clouds but clear below, so the sun was rising under the clouds, they in turn looked like ripples of red lava surounding the mountian…it was beautiful!

  22. Travis Jay says:

    My cup of “tastes of ass” has given me a bonus against being confused by your pernicious behavior.
    Also, that’s a damn fine picture.

  23. Dan says:

    I’m going to pretend it’s from an alien world tidally locked to its local star, taken in that tiny habitable band in permanent twilight. After all, Mr. Scalzi has been traveling a LOT.

  24. catfriend says:

    That is one super cool pic. Congrats.

  25. mike says:

    The pics you post leap off the screen. Is there no other photoshop work going on? color balancing, chomo stretch, etc?
    They make Ohio look like Eden.

  26. The sky is beautiful on planet Ohio.

  27. That is an amazing photo. Are those natural cloud formations or due to aircraft?

  28. Mike G says:

    I might be more confused if I hadn’t been working the midnight 12 hour shift. Instead, it makes an odd kind of sense…

  29. Robin says:

    I cannot convince my brain that that is not handpainted silk satin that was recently unfolded and showing creases.

  30. I like sunsets better than sunrises. (1) The weather is better, (2) I’m more awake to enjoy them, and (3) there are fewer obnoxious morning people around.

  31. MarilynHJ says:

    Just how can one tell the difference between sunrise and sunset from a picture? Other than there are fewer sunrise pictures because not as many people are awake for it. Beautiful picture – thanks for sharing.

  32. Gennita Low says:

    Hey John, have you check out these “hyper-photos” by Jean-Francois Rauzier? I spent an hour just looking at these fascinating pics.

    Huh, not sure why the link didn’t work. Here it is again. I used Preview this time and it went to the site fine.

  34. Roland says:

    Ah. Great pic. And thanks for a timely sunset picture as I get to bed. Third shift hours being good at leading to confusion all by themselves, most days.

  35. TJM says:

    Nice chemtrails.
