I promise I take pictures of things other than sunsets :o). I think my fascination with sunsets stems from my love of the ocean and beach and the countless visits there. Many of those visits ended with a sunset. There truly is no place like the western coast to watch the sun go down. Now I simply love watching the sky change colors as the sun disappears below the horizon. This sunset shot is from yesterday. I almost didn't have the opportunity to witness it, but luckily for me the call of the sunset is too strong :o). My goal was to capture the range of colors from blue to yellow to orange. I also wanted to communicate the beauty of the clouds and the stillness of standing on this ridge with only a few other sunset viewers. I left it SOOC as I love the light. I plan on showcaseing some non-sunset pictures tomorrow, but more sunset photos just might make an appearance later in the week!

this is gorgeous, I appreciate that you left all the info about camera settings too. I recently purchased a Lumix DMC LX5...my first camera with real manual settings and I am very new to taking photos with more studiousness and pretty clueless! So thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love your sunsets Emily, and this one is a true beauty!

Absolutely gorgeous. I get to see sunrise from my house, but the trees block the sunset, so I enjoy seeing it!
