Chasing Sunsets
Hello peeps… On this edition of the ongoing #ShootingKenya and #OneTouchLive (Our hashtags on both twitter and instagram that you can follow), all roads led to Magadi from Nairobi. With quick detours to the top of Ngong’ Hills and Olepolos, it was bound to be a long day with lots to see.
This time I had an iPhone car charger (Ha! Here comes the anti-iPhone brigade), so I was confident I would get both the sunrise AND the sunset 
Most of us were doing mobile photography using various brands (you can see Mutua Matheka’s “@truthslinger on twitter and instagram” mobile shots of the trip here —> Chasing Dusk )
This is (sort of) a sample of what my instagram (@jaydabliu) timeline was like from sunrise to sunset.
I was pretty amazed by the results.
What do you think?
Sunrise over Nairobi
One of the wind mills on Ngong’ Hills. Sometimes it’s easy to forget how massive these structures are.
The door to the windmill maintenance area.
The view from Kitalu Restaurant. A new amazing place we found to eat at on the way to Magadi.
Olepolos…. Time to slow down… And turn right (shameless plug)
From there on out… It was time to ruuuun like the wind, chasing the sunset as we realized it was 4:45pm and Magadi was almost 60km away… So we chased… And chased the sunset….AND
We caught it..
(Insert sigh here). Time for the OneTouchLive crew to sign out. This last shot was set up by Kevin Ouma (@kevjapicha on twitter and instagram)

Nice one bro. As for that sunset, I doubt it was from Magadi as there was no sun when you took the photo. Or is there an iPhone app for raising the sun after it sets?

Hahaha… Where were ya’ll shooting at? While y’all were setting up the sun peeked…click, click… iPhone done…hehehe.

i agree with Mwarv there is an app for raising the sun that you have … that sun wasnt there …
GREAT shots though
