Unbelievably hard this week to pick a favorite photo. I am attributing this to the fact that I was blessed to photograph most of my favorite subjects this week - the ocean, the beach and the sunset. I also feel like I have grown so much in my ability to photograph on manual mode since the last time I was at the beach. It is so rewarding to take a photo that captures what I saw in the way I saw it. I feel like I have learned to do this in the majority of my shots. And I suppose having two favorite photos is not the worst problem to have :o). Which one is your favorite?

Linking up with the link ups below. Be sure to check out the other favorite shots!
Thanks so much for linking up! I love, love, love the second beach shot. Colors are amazing, and that little sliver of a moon is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThat shot of the lake is just fantastic. It looks so serene. You really captured it well. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, these are both sooo pretty! I can't choose...: )
ReplyDeleteBoth are great, so different one from another.
ReplyDeleteI do love the colors in the second photo
and the peacefulness of the first.
oh my word, the last one with the moon is so gorgeous! love those shades of purple! thanks for linking up this week.
ReplyDeleteImpossible to pick a fave when both are so gorgeous and special in their own way. It's a first place tie ;)
ReplyDeleteBoth are great photos {and I love that you provide the settings you used} but I think the first one is my favorite. I always have a hard time picking just one favorite each week...guess I should have thought of that when I created the linky party. :) I'm so very glad that you linked up this week at HMA's Oh Snap! party. I really hope to see you again tomorrow {and many weeks to come!}
