Day 6

I’m really late with this post.  The last couple of posts have been late by a few hours but this one is pushing it to a whole new level.  This is what I get when I decide to work from home.  It throws me out of my daily rhythm and I tend to play catch up all day.

Yesterday I made a decision to stay in the office during lunch rather than fight the weather.  My idea was to play with light and shadows on various objects around my office.  I think it went fairly well and I had a few pictures I was happy with.  There was even one or two that I would have considered for my 365 project.  That all changed on the drive home…

Walking to the car I couldn’t help but be fascinated by the sky.  There were dark clouds and a great orange hue highlighted in .  I stopped numerous times to grab different images as the sun and clouds played hide -n- seek.  Review the pictures on the computer I just knew one of them was going to be my project picture for the day.

This second was only about a mile from my house.  I had to maneuver the car carefully to the side of the road so I could grab this picture.  I have overcome my initial inhibition about pulling this car stop routine and don’t even stop to think about it anymore.  When I see the picture, if there is a place to stop, I do!

This last image turned out much better than I anticipated.  It is a four image panoramic view of the sunset over the Mohawk River.  I didn’t think I should get out of the car considering the traffic going by me, so the four pictures where done hand held.  I’m really happy with this one!
