Beautiful Sunset



These photos were taken tonight off my back porch. It was one of the most brilliantly colored sun sets I have ever seen. The top two are not edited at all, but the bottom one I upped the saturation and added a warmer temperature to make the colors stand out. Mmm.

Night Photography

Wednesday September 30th around 6:10 pm our photography class ventured into the city to capture the night sky through its various stages. Sadly we got to the city after the sun went down. This photo was taken from the Luna Park boardwalk shooting to the west (obviously the sun sets in the west... just in case you did not know!) These are nothing special... I just wanted to share the love!

Just in case you have not seen the "Our Lips are Sealed" Marykate and Ashley movie this is what the entrance to Luna Park looks like...

...below the eye balls are glowing teeth... they are what you walk through to get into the park. Its an old amusement park, not very big, but very creepy. It is open at odd hours to emphasize the creepiness. But, the good news is, if you turn around this is what you see...
...which is much more beautiful than the creepy face. The opera house is just barely cut off, it would be on the left where the water meets the lights. If you look a little bit more to the left this is what you see...
...the sweet ferris wheel sticking out from Luna Park over the water. Sadly the park was closed so the rides were not moving, but at least they were still lit up! If you keep venturing around the bay, away from the bridge, you get a great view of it all...
...wha-lah! Fin!
