Beer & Beauty

I headed into work this morning before the sun rose. As it began the sky danced with fire and colors! I took a whole bunch of pictures from the time it started until it was almost gone (15 minute period) and pulled over several times to snap a quick shot. My friend Linzie also had her birthday, so we went out for drinks after work.

sky of sorts

I had initially planned on cropping this picture so the roofline would be at the bottom of the frame. I didn't have the right vantage point to frame it that way in the camera, but after looking at the whole thing I have a quaint fascination with the way it came out as is.

A Day O Fun

Blue Sky

Saw these on the way home from work, pulled over and had some fun!

A New Toy!

Today I received my remote for long exposures. It enables me to do up to 30 minute exposures with my camera. Abbey and I hopped down to the park a few blocks away and dance in the moonlight during the exposures. Here's one of the long exposures shot at 4 min and 13.5 seconds. You can start to see how the earth is rotating as the stars have a trail.

I have some settings to work on and then we should be seeing some really cool stuff once I get it.

Everything is Temporary

Today while I was working at the Studio, I glimpsed out the window to see the incredible sunset. That's a total benefit to being able to see the mountains all day, I get to see them change from hour to hour, from minute to minute, and in the evening from second to second.

Coming from Kansas, I miss seeing some of the best sunsets. However the sunsets here are growing on me and I'm learning to appreciate their beauty as well! So here's a picture of the sunset tonight, which was literally completely gone about 3 minutes later.
