Blood red sunset over Indiana on June 17, 2013

My west-facing balcony is really paying off! I can easily check the sky conditions at any time. I saw this bright burning sky while I was on the phone with my mom and I said "I gotta go, there is a really cool sunset and it can't wait."

Not only can I not multi-task, but I had to use my phone to record a timelapse video (bottom).

  The TimeLapse app () on my phone now has smart exposure, so you can see it constantly trying to keep up with the changing light.
