Unexpected
.
I snapped this one for the heck of it as I was leaving the coffee shop today. It really was an afterthought, or maybe a castoff thought. I realized I was losing all my daylight, and that my photo for today might wind up being something around the house after it had gotten dark. I didn’t want to do that, so I figured, “Oh, I’ll try this ‘shooting into the sun thing’ again and see how it turns out.” The clouds and the trees happened to line up well, but I didn’t think it would look as interesting as it does now. It’s not prize-winning, but I love what the light did around the clouds. I hope to try this out again in the future, hopefully sans powerlines.
It’s All About the Light
Yeah, would have been better with woods or a canyon or whatever, but still!
Not much for the scenery on this one, but look at the colors! Sunsets I tend not to do so much, mainly because seems like they get done too much, plus I always worry I’ll burn the thing into the back of my eye, but this was so orange and spectacular I just averted the eyeball and gave the shutter a click. Nice orange? I think so. Would have been a stellar time to be photographing an orange car, like a ’49 Mercury – thing would have glowed like a meteor!
