Location
In my hometown, Stokes County, North Carolina. Location is near Hanging Rock/Danbury. In the foothills of the mountains so plenty of nature to take in.Time
October 19th, 2020 at 6:32 pm. I've always loved taking occasional evening rides and watching the skies as the sun sets. Just a beautiful sight to say 'rest easy' tonight.Lighting
Sunsets create the lighting for me. I just want to share what I was blessed to see. I love capturing moments more in a 'natural state'.Equipment
A Canon PowerShot SX540 HS. No flash or extras, I keep it simple, still trying to learn. I "Just Click" ;) what I see that I like or want to capture at the time.Inspiration
My husband and I decided to take one of our evening rides and the sun started setting...I love a beautiful sunset picture, mine or not :) . The stretch of road we were on wasn't giving us a good view so he said hold on and I'll try to find a road with a better view. I told him this was what I do and meant (turning on roads going towards it) when I say I'm going out to chase a sunset lol. As we were going down one of the roads, he happen to look over, braked and said, there you go, do you want? Me: "OMG YES!!". I adore beautiful nature scenery. The bright, orange colors were warm and inviting even though it was chilly outside lol. The view felt relaxing and looked like a beautiful painting to me.Editing
No. I felt it was a beautiful capture as is. I just don't believe I could've made it any prettier than it naturally was.In my camera bag
I'm an amature that just loves taking pictures so I don't carry much. Used to be just my smartphone until I got my Canon PowerShot SX540 HS this year for my birthday. Wanted some extra zoom for moon pictures and farther shots. Although, a tripod would be nice because I tend to shake alot sometimes lol.Feedback
I personally just love seeing all the beauty our Creator has created so I love taking rides, checking out nature and always try to have a camera with me because I never know what I may see at THAT MOMENT. Even in the same place, same time the view can be different...so different feelings, different photos, different sunsets...an ever changing canvas...I never get bored if I go to the same place, always see SOMETHING different. I try to take photos that make me 'feel' something and I hope viewers will 'feel' something when they see it. Since I'm an amature and as I said, tend to shake quite a bit, partially due to health reasons, I suggest taking ALOT of pictures. I take MANY (of the same shot) but consider myself VERY BLESSED if I get a FEW good ones.
