Capturing Your World: Sunsets

(3rd favorite)

Last night my hubby and I went for a stroll on the beach after dinner and the night couldn't have been more perfect....just the right breeze and temperature.  When ever we set out to go for a walk I always bring my camera because you just never know what you may see.  This was taken in regular mode.

So as we were heading back to our car, because it was getting late, you could see people lining the beach to watch the sunset.  I didn't have the intention of doing this when we set out for our walk but I said to him lets sit and watch it too and I was so glad we did.  I quickly decided that this would be a sunset photo assignment to record. 

This first one I was trying to get us walking with the beautiful color of the sky in the background.  I loved how this turned out because it looks like someone else took it.  Sometimes you just don't get the right shot when you are trying to take the picture yourself without looking at it...and just getting the side of the faces couldn't have been as perfect.  I am also glad that my hubby is taller than me so that you can see the both of us.

This one I wanted to get my hubby watching the dolphins in the water....they were so close but not easy to capture.  I just love when you can really see them jump out of the water and be so close....what a treat for this evenings walk.  When these pictures were taken we were walking the canal so you can see the silhouette in the background which I thought just added something extra. Taken in vivid mode.

This one I took because I loved the reflection of the sky on the water, and the beach.  What I also liked was texture of all the snails that lined the beach because it was low tide.   It was neat to have captured the birds but what was the real bonus is the little peak of the dolphins in the upper right hand corner.  This was taken in vivid mode.

Next is my favorite photo of the night......and you know this because you just have that heart connection to it when you first see it.  That's when you know you hit the mark of the assignment.

Absolutely beautiful!!!!   I took this in vivid mode just to really capture how breathtaking it was to be there.  What a wonderful mix of pure peace and beauty.
