Snowy Sunset

About half way through dinner last week I jumped up and said to my wife "I have to take this photo."

Taken from the back porch. Hand held. F5, 1/30 sec, 40 mm, ISO 800.

Thanks, everyone. I saw a video on doing this with an apple. Wasn't an original idea. If you want to try it, I placed The banana on a glass table top. Used a black jacket as a background. Tied yarn to an led flashlight and dangled yarn and shone light on banana. Camera settings were F8 for 8 .seconds. Be sure room is dark.

The theme of my photo club's contest for January is "Yellow". Here's my entry; Smoking Bananas. The fun part is that the smoke was created by a piece of yarn, a flashlight and a long exposure.

Thanks Mike D. And doduce. I agree with your comments about the second one. There were about 20 of us all taking a similar photo. I wanted to try something different.

I went out with the Coastal Camera Clubtonight. There was supposed to be a full moon rising over the bridge. Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell the clouds to stay away and for the moon to make an appearance. Ended up with a nice nighttime photo anyway.

A focal point would be a distraction. You have captured the essence of the shot with your composition.

Denture Falls

Thanks everyone for your comments. Personally, I liked my photo alot. I tend to be very critical about my photos and always seem to find things I could have done better. After looking at this many times, I thought it needed a spot more of color.

Thanks again,
Bill
