"Ghostly Sunset" (low res.)
@Copyrighted Photograph, 2011. All Rights Reserved.
I took this photo on Saturday evening at twilight. It had been drizzling off and on all day. Then Out of nowhere the sky just magically came to life. I barely had enough time to grab my camera, point and shoot before God's breathtaking painting had vanished into a sullen blanket of deep indigo. Now a 'real' photographer might be upset that there wasn't time for setting up a tripod or to tweak with the camera for optimum settings ... Me, I think the ghosting effect in the tree branches (due to longer exposure time and the camera being hand-held vs. tripod) is wicked cool and tres apropos for Halloween. This capture is very mysterious and magical to my way of thinking, and you know me ... I just love it when conditions are ripe for the mysterious and magical to awaken from slumber. Happy Halloween, ya'll!
