I just can't get over the skies tonight. Had to share this asap. I was driving home from work and around town this evening and had to capture the magic in the skies. I was very taken by the colour at the marina.
I'll keep trying to express what photography does for me. One day I might actually nail it. This moment - it lasted maybe 5 minutes. From the time I drove from my daughter's dance studio to the bridge and got out of my car, I had about 5 minutes to get these 2 images. The railway was my primary focus. I wanted a different perspective on the city's skyline, hoping it was an angle that hasn't been done yet. When the sun started dipping below the buildings I looked over my shoulder to see the wondrous pinks and soft blues over the Sleeping Giant. I walked to the other side of the bridge, checked my shutter/iso/fstop to make sure they were good, took a breath to take it in then snapped the image. The second image of the Giant was truly effortless. I stood there a moment longer to take in the serenity and snapped a mental image as well. The mental image is key as when I returned home later that evening to process the images, I give myself creative license to adjust and manipulate the image to how I best remembered the moment and how it made me feel.
