More Low Hanging Fruit

Maconnex, France, 2012

A little sunset action to get things started off. We're moving into lightning season here, so there are thunderheads about, even if there isn't actually any lightning today. Here, at least.

Revisited this great city, and I took another shot at this scene.

Sunset

January 15, 2012

This picture goes back to last June. I was motivated to wade through all the pictures I took of this picture by the idea of playing around with it in LR4 beta. It was pretty fun.

Nevada Sunset

Carson City, NV (2011)

I had taken a similar photo on a different day when the sunset wasn't so dramatic, but the trees and hill still really said something to me:

Sunset over Toiyabe

Picking that second picture was much easier, the situation was pretty static, so I framed a couple of pictures, pressed the shutter and was done. That was it.

The next day there were some clouds, I headed out, stood there, and literally took over 100 pictures. I just kept shooting, and the clouds and light kept changing. It was great! When I got back to my computer, I had a ton of pictures to pic through, and they all looked good, just a little different. So which one do I pick? That would be why I haven't put up a picture of it yet. That, and the whole "don't over do the sunsets (or flowers) thing". Sunsets are great, everyone loves sunsets, but it does get a little boring when all you see is pictures of sunsets. So I try to only do a couple a year. That is, put pictures up. I make pictures of sunsets and sunrises as often as I can! But only I get to see those....

Enjoy that top picture, it'll be a while before I put up another sunset...
