I was perusing the photos available to me (here, where I'm not at home, if you catch my drift) and decided on this one for Pretty Picture Thursday. (I promise I'll try to come up with a better title next week.)
This picture is far from perfect. I realize that now, months after the picture was taken, after I've actually learned a few things. But that doesn't stop me from loving it.
If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a fan of sunset pictures. And I'm an especially big fan of surprise sunsets. For example: you're out in the middle of nowhere (say, Buffalo, NY) and you stop for gas and ice cream (what else?) and you're getting out of the car, stretching, shivering because it's much colder than California, and you turn around and bam! There's one of the most amazing sunsets you've ever seen.
So, you grab your camera which, at this point, has way too many confusing buttons and options. You turn it on, aim, hope for the best, and start clicking away and try desperately to ignore the people laughing at your obvious tourist shenanigans.
Then, a couple weeks later, you try not to be too sad when you realize half of the pictures came out overexposed. You take a deep breath and think... Next time. Next time we go on vacation, my pictures will be perfect.
