I Clicked it Up a Notch - August

I have shown this picture a multitude of times on my blog - first here and then here. It also happens to be my desktop background on my computer :o). It is my favorite this month for a few reasons. Number one because of the accomplishment I felt in shooting it on full manual mode and the beautiful straight out of camera (SOOC) shot that I was the result. Number two because of the edit I was able to take it to another level. And finally number three because I am in love with the purple sky. I hope you aren't sick of it yet!

    It's a beautiful photo that deserves to be shown numerous times! It makes me smile when someone takes a fab photo all in manual! Takes me back to the day I first shot manual and how much of a achievement it is. Bravo!!! You rocked it! Keep it up!

    P.S. I've been meaning to ask you if you're on pinterest, if not, you should be. Hehe It's a time waster but it's so fun for finding photography inspiration! :)

    I know I've told you this before but I love this, gorgeous texture in the silhouettes and love the colours in the sunset, that purple is amazing!

    I am not sick of it, as it is new to me. It is so beautiful and the purple sky is A.MAZ.ING.

    The quote you shared goes along with this shot perfectly.
