Sunset.... 23 Minutes

By bullshoalsview written 2/4/08 8:31 PM, published 2/5/08 9:44 AM

They say if you don't like the weather in the Ozarks, just wait an hour... and it will change!  Never more true than here lately.  A few days ago we had a foot of snow.... today it was 75 degrees... expecting severe thunderstorms tonight, possibly tornados... then another snow tomorrow night.

Seems like the sky even changes rapidly during sunset... so tonight I give you

23 minutes of Sunset...

After the rain

By enigmaticfaerie written 1/31/08 8:02 PM, published 2/1/08 3:34 PM

No 4x5s today.  I got them developed and printed, but they're drying.  Maybe tomorrow.

Instead, I bring you the sunset from tuesday.  It was a crazy day for weather this past Tuesday.  It rained all day long, into the night and at one point I thought my roof was going to be blown off.  But it stopped raining for a short while just in time for the sunset.  And the clouds were gracious enough to part slightly to show it.

I know I don't have a picture perfect scene from the balcony of my apartment, but I couldn't pass up these colors.

BEYOND THE SUNSET --HANK WILLIAMS

SHOULD YOU GO FIRST AND I REMAIN TO WALK THE ROAD ALONE

I'LL LIVE IN MEMORY'S GARDEN DEAR, WITH HAPPY DAYS WE'VE KNOWN

IN SPRING I'LL WAIT FOR ROSES RED, WHEN FAITH THE LILACS BLOOM

AND IN EARLY FALL WHEN BROWN LEAVES FALL, I'LL CATCH A GLIMPSE OF YOU

SHOULD YOU GO FIRST AND I REMAIN, FOR BATTLES TO BE FOUGHT

EACH THING YOU'VE TOUCHED ALONG THE WAY, WILL BE A HALLOWED SPOT

I'LL HEAR YOUR VOICE I'LL SEE YOUR SMILE
THOUGH BLINDLY I MAY GROPE

THE MEMORY OF YOUR HELPING HAND, WILL BUOY ME ON WITH HOPE

BEYOND THE SUNSET OH BLISSFUL MORNING
WHEN WITH OUR SAVIOUR, HEAVEN IS BEGUN

EARTHS TOILING ENDED, OH GLORIOUS DAWNING

BEYOND THE SUNSET WHEN DAY IS DONE

Kee Nee Moo Sha

By tomnorth written 1/27/08 3:32 PM, published 1/27/08 3:32 PM

This weekend the four of us relaxed at the Kee Nee Moo Sha Resort in northern Minnesota. We "won" this getaway weekend at a silent auction. We had a nice, relaxing time. It seems we spent most of our time warming up by the fire or playing card games. Anna whooped me at Crazy Eights. If that wasn't humbling. These are a few of the images from the weekend.

On Saturday, Kirstin and I went out on the lake (Woman Lake) Can you find the old wizard in this image? In the town of Longville we saw this unfortunate juxtaposition of signs by the roadside. Kirstin and I went back to get a picture. The light at sunset on Saturday night was beautiful. Priscilla and I went out for a walk. That is when I captured this image of Priscilla in the beautiful winter light. This last image is my entry in the Friendship/Romance challenge.


Oregon coast sunset

I am so glad that we zoomed down to the beach for this sunset even though it was so freezing cold and windy that my lens kept getting fogged up.  But these pics made it all worth while.

September sun going down.  My husband needed a closer view I guess, for he was all of a sudden there in my pic frame. watching it go
Oregon ocean sunset
ocean glory
The question I have to ask everytime.
why does it have to end?

This is the only way I get my husband to pose for pictures.  Fully covered in his 4-wheel'n outfit.  So here he is

I know I am double posting but I got so inspired to write this that I had to get it down and I don't know how to save it to post later.  So please forgive.

my challenge entrey

By momof3pics written 1/13/08 1:07 PM, published 1/14/08 12:46 PM

I'm going to give this a try. This was  taken from my attic window ,from the in side of my house (window opened). the sun set was so pretty the other day and I ran up to the attic to take this shot. living in the city makes it hard to take sunset photos. too much stuff in the way. but I found that the attic window is the best place to go. (we have a very tall house)
I did not want to loose the effect of the sunset so the only thing done to this photo is cropping.
hope you all like it. ;)

The first day of classes

By enigmaticfaerie written 1/14/08 6:47 AM, published 1/14/08 6:47 AM

I'm back in Murf and it's cold again (had gotten into the 60s and 70s this weekend). I thought it might be reasonable to show my first attempt at ice macros.  

A couple of weeks ago it got really cold in alabama, lows hitting around 12 and 14.  One afternoon after work, I wandered outside hoping to catch a beautiful sunset but with no such luck.  It was mediocre at best and instead I turned my attention to our little garden pond.  It had a thin sheet of ice on top of it and plenty of leaves frozen below the surface.  With the fading light, I used my on-camera flash adjusting the output to a desirable lighting condition and these are what I got.

ice pond bw 2

Most of them I didn't care for.  I couldn't get a composition I liked, or the flash reflection was just too darn bright, but I think these two were ok.  

Let me know what you think.  Tomorrow... more ice, but in a different vision.

Comp. and Focus with Shinigami

By enigmaticfaerie written 1/7/08 7:32 AM, published 1/8/08 10:44 AM

I got bored the other night when I got home from work.  I was tired of not having picked up my camera.  I was planning on taking some sunset shots.  While waiting for that I figured my cat Shinigami would do.

The first shot was taken with the natural light coming in from the window and the last 3 were taken with the on camera flash.

Comments, critiques and suggestions are always welcome.

Composition and Focus

By DCDave written 1/4/08 7:29 PM, published 1/6/08 7:18 PM

I recently went to Negril, Jamaica and should have come back with better photos.  I was so awe-struck with the culture and the friendliness of the people I almost forgot I had a camera.

These three photos should garner the proverbial D- but I would like to share them anyway.  Cheers and happy new year.
