Sunsets

More often than not when you see a sunset photo, you will see the sun behind the subject and a golden glow.  I appreciate these shots for sure, but I thought I would show you some of the ways sunsets can be captured besides the standard method.

This goose preening on a nearby lake has a sunset going on in front of it.  You can see the color cast on the water and somewhat on the goose, but not the actual sunset.  This photo gives you the idea of a sunset without actually seeing it.  That's one way to capture a sunset photo.

Sometimes everything around it is colored the same color as the sky during a sunset.  Yesterday I went running out of my house because I thought I lived in PINK WORLD.  The sky was so pink under the setting sun, that even our house looked pink!  We have very vivid sunsets here, and this photo shows how, once again, without actually seeing the sun setting, you get the feel of it happening.  This is Corey, and he was a very good boy the day I took these photos.

When the sun is almost below the horizon, magic can happen.  I was just so lucky to be driving by our neighbor's farm when this occurred, and also lucky my camera was in the car.  I am never that lucky, so I am guessing this was my one-and-only sunset silhouette for my lifetime.

Finally, my girl, Billie.  I took her to our favorite field with the sun setting in front of her and very changeable skies due to an approaching storm.  You can see the suncast glow on her face and coat.  She hardly ever sits still, so all the planets must have surely been lined up.  AND, we did make it home before the storm.

To see more, what I am sure will be, beautiful sunset photos, hit the blog circle starting with Tracy Allard of Penny Whistle Photography fetching pet and family portraits in Coppell, Carrollton and the greater Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex.  Have a great weekend, and enjoy every sunset you can!
