Day 2

I’m off to a good start, two for two  OK, maybe that was a little easy.  I guess a streak doesn’t start until after day three.  The good thing about day two is I practiced a little patience.  I was out very early this morning catching a very colorful sunrise but I refrained from posting (or downloading) any of those pictures.

I was able to get back out later in the day during the golden hour.  It really earned its name today.  There were scattered clouds in the western sky and just about forty minutes before sunset, the sun poked its face below the layer producing some awesome orange light.  I only had a little time before it would be over so I walked around the yard exploring how the light played on various objects.

I was fascinated with the neighbor’s fence and was able to get a nice image of one of the posts with a tree in the background.  I really liked it when I was lining it up and I took more pictures than I normally would to ensure I had my day two picture.

I did like one of the other pictures I was taking of the fence.  If I look back over the pictures I have taken recently and pick out my favorites there will be quite a few with a narrow depth of focus.  I’m not sure if this is a bad habit to be in but I do like how they all turn out.  I will need to be more aware of it in the future so I don’t fall into a rut.

Tomorrow is suppose to be a little rainy so I might need think of opportunities at work to play with the camera.  I’ve been practicing there, so my chances are pretty good.
