You've probably been there too
Because of all the trees in my backyard, I rarely see a sunset. It’s a shame because I sleep too late to ever see a sunrise. But tonight, at a birthday party, I was in a perfect position to see a sunset.
It thrilled me.
My husband stood there patiently for me holding our daughter while I snapped many pictures.
He didn’t even have to smile.
It made me want to build a new house on a hill where I can see the sunset every night.
Do you get to see the sunset where you live?
I’m never sure if my photo fits just right in the theme, but, I took this photo of my cousin and his wife this weekend and fell in love with everything about it. There’s a story in this picture. What story does it tell you?
It’s not often that I convert a shot to black and white. I prefer color myself. But there are some pictures that just look better in black and white. I think this picture is one example. Here’s the original.
Canon 40d, 50mm lens, f/2.0, iso 100.
I thought she looked so cute, almost posed, when she flopped up on that old swing and put her hands behind her head. But the picture, in color, didn’t come out as cute as I thought it would be. I originally changed it to black and white because I hated the look of the old green swing. But once I’d made the change, I realized it was what the photo wanted to be from the beginning. Don’t you agree?
