Factoria Sunset Silhouette: 10.15.11

I had planned to post this much earlier in the evening, but I finally got a car today. I have been car-less for the past couple of weeks after my car died. The same and only car I have had since I was 16. I have been looking for a car for a while and I have to say that I hated most aspects of car shopping, especially sales people who try to tell you what you want. Luckily today I found a salesman and dealership that made me feel comfortable and I got the car that I wanted. I also had a very supportive mom and family along for the ride. I feel very blessed. I can't wait to go take pictures! Is it weird that that was one of the first thoughts I had after buying the car?

As for my photo, I am linking up with a few challenges and for the A Moment in Time Challenge the theme is I Heart. I heart sunsets. There is nothing better than a sunset, except one on the beach. I haven't had the chance to get to the beach in a while, but I have had the chance to witness some pretty incredible sunsets. One just last weekend. I have also been honing my skills at picking the proper settings and getting the best SOOC shot possible. So today I am sharing a SOOC sunset shot. My goal was to capture the great range of color in the sky. I think I did that SOOC. I don't think editing was necessary to communicate the beauty of the sky. What do you think?

Settings: ISO 800, 55mm, ss1/100, f/7.1 (full manual)

  5. There's a wide range of colors in this shot, mostly related to pink!

    Through the dazzling bright blue sky
    Pigeons swim and goldfish fly.
    If you think that this is strange,
    You should see the mountains range!
