Let Go

Here’s another shot I took last night by accident. I messed up my camera settings and blew out the sky all around the dandelion so everything came out white. I kind of liked it, though.

I added an overall tint to even it out a bit and then decided to go totally greeting-card and added the quote.

I’m still thinking about the quote — trying to find something else to use.

Dandelions in the setting sun

We stopped by Camp Adair this evening to shoot some photos as the sun went down. My attention was captured by the dandelions.

Now I’m all itchy from lying down in the grass… ha.

Flying By

Took these last night — again from the passenger seat of the car — as we drove home to Albany from Independence.

Marcus & Miley loving the sun

Marcus, in particular, tends to get a little sun-drunk. He rolls around like he has catnip.

Wheelhouse

This is the Wheelhouse building in Albany. Got there a little too late for really good sunset photos, but these fantastic windows still created lovely reflections.

More from Last Night’s Sunset

At first I was uninspired by the sunset last night. We’d just missed being able to shoot an amazing (double!) rainbow and there didn’t seem to be a whole lot going on with the clouds. Then I decided to shoot from a lower perspective… and that made all the difference.
