Well I figured out one thing that it's hard to focus in that light. I also found out that I'm pretty wiggly and things get blurry.
So it was minus 8 C and about 6:00 PM.
The white strip is the neighbors fence which was lit by the street light. The things that look lights on the left are where snow is piled up on the mountain ash berries.
I think I need more practice on sunsets!
Sunsets and sunrises are hard because of the reduced light. I'm "wiggly" too! You might have a setting for sunrise/sunset on your camera; did you check?
ReplyDeleteGood hint. I'll look.
DeletePS - I think you did a great job, though. The sky and trees are so pretty - I like those shots.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! I love the the colors of sunsets and sunrises. By coincidence, I took a sunrise shot today and so did my photographer buddy. His were much better than mine.
ReplyDeleteWell let's see those photos.
DeleteYou are an early bird, I am still sleeping at six in te morning...
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm not that ambitious. This was the evening.
DeleteYou need to think about photo editing in order to bring out the best in your pictures.
ReplyDeleteEditing is another world for me but I know where it is.
Delete...minus 8 C and about 6:00 PM, BRRRRRRRR!
ReplyDeleteIt's God's country!
DeleteYou did a pretty good job, even if you are a little bit "wiggly." It's hard to take pictures when the light is that low. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am too impatient .
DeleteYour sunset's earlier than ours.
ReplyDeleteI think it sets around 5.
DeleteYou need a tripod!
ReplyDeleteHey Steve, I need more than a tripod!
DeleteSunsets are hard. Lean against a tree if you do not have a tripod or you could balance on a picnic table. These are very haunting.
ReplyDeleteThey caught my eye as I was going past the window.
DeleteThe light silhouetting the trees is lovely. Nice capture!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I saw this as I went by the window so quickly backed up to take another look.
DeleteYorkshire Pudding mentioned that you were from Red Deer in his last reply to me, so I thought I'd look you up.
ReplyDeleteI was reading a post of yours' about Halloween. I moved to Red Deer in 1970 as a child; I was eight years old. Small world indeed.
I've been looking for another Red Deer blogger for nine years! Glad you visited Hiawatha House,
ReplyDeletePretty sunset and silhouettes. Enjoy your day, have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteNot bad, actually. When light is reduced it can be very challenging to take a decent photo.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the sunsets there. Makes me wonder what time the sun goes down these days. Here it's getting dark by 5:00.
ReplyDeleteWith a little practice, you'll get better. There are little tripods out there that will help you too and there not expensive.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend!
Practice makes perfect!
ReplyDeletegorgeous images dear Red :)
ReplyDeletei can feel the soothing warmth of setting sunrays :)
wonderful !
