This week over at Beth’s, she challenged us to capture the sunrise or sunset, or to interpret sunrise/sunset at will. I went literal.
Here’s the sunrise out my back sliding door just the other morning. It’s prettier out my bathroom window upstairs, but I was in the middle of working out in the morning and wanted to catch the shot quickly and get back to my Wii EA Sports Active (awesome workout!).
(I had to decrease the exposure by quite a bit to get the colors of the sky.)
The weather hasn’t been cooperating too much for me to catch a sunset lately-it could be because I forget it gets dark at 4:00 now and I miss it! There was a great sunset the other day while I was at work, and I so wished I had had my camera with me, but it might look a little weird walking around the hospital, treating patients with my camera slung over my shoulder. Probably a HIPAA issue, as well!
Anyway, I do have a couple of pictures of a sunset around here from this past 4th of July when we were out at our friend’s parents’ lake house. They get gorgeous sunsets out there!
I wonder what everyone else captured?
Oh my goodness! These are amazing!! And I don’t even have a clue how to do this: “I had to decrease the exposure by quite a bit to get the colors of the sky” on my camera, but, wow, I really need to figure it out!
I love the water shot too!
And LOL on the camera slung over your shoulder at work! Although you might consider sharing some of these photos to cheer up your patients! 🙂
Those are absolutely beautiful.
I love love love that first shot – it’s so delicate, yet strong.
WOW! What fabulous pictures.
I also don’t know what decreasing the exposure means, I think maybe some study is in order!
I LOVE the sunset on the water! amazing!
Beautiful! I love the water shot…very creative!
Gorgeous shots! I love how the trees look and the colors are fantastic. And that 2nd shot looks like it could be a painting – very beautiful.
The first shot is stunning!
Beautiful captures! If I’m not using manual focus then I like to focus on the sky, keep holding the button and recompose the shot before I click. Your way sounds like the right thing to do, but mine is good when your in a hurry.
It’s amazing how different sunsets produce such different colors…these are stunning and I love the reflection of color on the water! Beautiful!
Love the first one! Glad you were getting your exercise in too!
WOW! All the pictures are great, but the second one is amazing, just beautiful.
Wow, I especially love the picture on the water. 🙂
I love the photo from your sliding doors. Beautiful!
These are gorgeous!
I love how the trees are like silhouettes in that first picture, it really makes the sky pop.
The reflection on the water is so beautiful! I don’t know if I would have thought of taking a shot of that, but it really works!
I love the sunset on the water!
