"Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever."
Horace Mann
I was lucky enough to get an invitation to the coast last weekend. The short winter days turned out to be advantageous as I could see the sun rise and set without having to miss sleep. I do so love to sleep!
If you reached my blog from Facebook the bad news is that the photo you saw there was Photoshopped. This is the actual moon photo I took. The good news is that you can make any of these photos full screen by clicking on them.
My second shot was a happy accident. I moved the camera and mashed the shutter button at the same time. But I like it. There are many articles in my photography magazines about how to do this on purpose. I have never tried it because I am sure I wouldn't be able to get anything worth showing to you that way. It had to be an accident to work.
Luckily my host suggested I get the sunrise over Indian Island. Otherwise I might have missed it while photographing the moon set in the opposite direction. This one looks especially good when enlarged to full screen, if I do say so myself!
Sunset. Needs no further explanation.
Another shot at sunset. I very much like having the grasses in the foreground.
I might have more for you, but my hostess is SUCH a good bartender that I had a tough time remembering all the finer points of photography!
