Nice weather today but unfortunately other things required more attention today than my photography. There was just enough time in the late afternoon for a quick trip to a couple boat landings at the Mississippi River. I had the Sigma 50-500 mounted to the camera in hope for some birds of prey but did not have much luck. Normally I don't use the range below 150mm focal length for landscape photography. Other lenses in my bag do a better job in this range. However, when I saw the Cassville power plant mirrored in the water of the Mississippi and at the same time a big ice floe drifted by, I made a few clicks. Nothing crazy, just lovely light… A few seconds later, as the sun went deeper down, the light lost its magic and was not the same anymore. I'm glad I didn't waste time to change the lens. I would have missed the shot...
