Happy Easter!


Last week the subject theme for the photography thread was Sunrise, wherein someone suggested that sunrises are better than sunsets. That sounds like a challenge to me!



Let's see if we can top the sunrise thread with some beautiful sunset shots.



Please post your bestest sunset photos here - your own work, please.

Looks like frozen tundra. Are you near the arctic circle?

Thanks for the ping Valerie! These photos are breathtaking. Amazingly, I was trying to finish up a roll of film just this past Saturday. I walked around my yard taking shots of beautiful blooming azaleas and dogwoods trying to frame the pictures as artistically as possible. I commented to myself "Think of ValerieUSA's work!" And then I get this ping. Thanks again.

WOW have certainly enjoyed your fabulous photography.....Make a person want to get a better camera and take a few shots....You're both inspiration personified.

Many thanks, Valerie.

What a great idea for a weekly theme.

Please put me on your ping list.

Are you near the arctic circle?

LOL! Might as well have been, but it's only the Jersey shore. If I recall correctly, we barely broke 10 degrees that day, as is usual on the heels of a major snow storm. The wind comes howling out of the northwest at around 40-50 mph, and it's normally a good day to stay indoors curled up on the couch with a dog lying on your feet - unless you're nuts like me. :-)

I just wish the colors had come through a bit better on those.

Yes.

But I need to commission a sunrise/sunset photograph looking due west now (within a few days of the spring or fall equinox).

Then in June 22 (or close) the same shot, same background, showing the mid-summer soltice position.

Then, in mid-winter, where the winter soltice sunset is.

Best would be a time-motion shot showing my customers the angle of the sun as it sets, since I want to use the shots to sell armillary spheres and sundials.

But, is each shot a couple of hundred dollars? Couple of dozen? Free? (grin!)
