Amazing Christmas Eve Sunset

[Every Miles A Memory]

I guess this would be my first post on here. My husband is on here all the time and I feel like I'm a member because of how many posts I'm usually reading after he shows me them. I thought I'd post up a few shots I took the other night just to share with you all.

So the other night I was sitting out back, watching the sun set over the bay behind our place in Cedar Key.

It was one of those nights that as the sun dropped deeper below the horizon, the show just kept getting better and better. I couldnt stop taking photos and was just amazed at how beautiful it was. What a Christmas Present as it was Christmas Eve

I thought this was the climax, but after the sun dropped below the horizon, I kept watching as the reds got deeper and the clouds continued to make my eyes water from the beauty!

This was my last photo of the night, but probably one of my favorite photos I've taken to date. I was up to 1000ISO and zoomed all the way out on my 28-300 lens.

This is also straight out of the camera, with no adjustments or corrections what so ever to the image.

Let me know what you think, as I'm not that keen on settings and composition compared to my husband who knows all that sort of stuff like the back of his hand.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas Holiday

Thanks Cindy Bonish

welcome

Welcome to Expo Cindy ; )

I agree I love the second one too, the full frame of the clouds with just a touch of horizon works well. Merry Christmas

Nice to finally see the world from your point of view Cindy. Welcome to ExPo, beautiful shots. I look forward to seeing more of you here. Perhaps a new screen name is in order. "Making a Memory Every Mile"

A sunset that will no doubt remain with you forever...in memory if not in "print."

Thanks guys. I really like reading through the stuff on here, I just have to make sure Pat is around to explain alot of the lingo I'm not 100% familiar with.

I'm a picture person, so I like to look at posts that have alot of photos to go with the story
