Creative Photography

As my regular readers will know, I am getting in photography and love to click away trying to get just the right shot. So when I read on Daryl's site that Roger at Creative Photography has a regular contest going (just for fun, of course!) I thought I'd join in. I took this photo from the car as I was travelling home from Centennial Beach last March just at sunset. I played around with the contrast to make the colours more bold. You can still see the outline of trees and a house on the horizon. Hope you like it. Be sure to click on the photo to enlarge it. If you're interested in participating, click here at Creative Photography to see how to enter a photograph and how to vote for your favourite.

  9. Leslie, Photography is contagious, isn't it. Especially when you have talent, as you do. I've been tied up, not literally, of course, but have missed getting to your blog. I've missed a lot, I see, but I made sure to catch up . . . loved the jokes, the photos, and the support post.

  11. Hi Leslie, just been catching up on your posts.

    The macro thing is interesting. I can't seem to use ours properly although Husband says I just have to set it and aim.

    Lovely images for support. How would we cope without the support others give us? (I know we have God but sometimes a physical touch helps too!)

    You were a cute 17-year-old! But how we doubt ourselves at that age.

    Cat house? Brothel?

    Jaclyn does art as well?! Wow!

  12. That's just beautiful - I love sunsets but I don't have a lot of success in taking good pictures of them.

    Good luck with the contest, this is my first week entering myself.

    the colors are amazing, Mother Nature sure is one hell of an artist, isn't she? :)

    I've bookmarked you right under my pal Daryl.

    I'm so glad you joined in

  15. Great tweak of the contrast. It does, indeed, look like a lot of the SW sunsets I saw in El Paso. :)
    Have a wonderful day!

  16. The bold layers of the sunset are balanced by the blue sky overrun by the dainty wispy clouds. Excellent sky shot, and the best o'luck!
