Over Spring break I went up to visit my girlfriend in Davis, I hadn't seen her since New Years, so it was something I was very much looking forward to. I flew in in the morning, and later that evening we went out to dinner. As we are walking out of her apartment I see this sunset, and it was so gorgeous I had to take a picture of it. I don't normally take pictures of sunsets, which I really should start doing, but I just had to for this one. Mostly because I don't see sunsets that often anymore being in an area surrounded by buildings. It was nice to be in a more rural area where the sky was far more visible.
Now as far as the lighting goes, and I kick myself for not taking a picture of what it looked like on a person, it is beautiful. The shades of pinks and yellows gave off a romantic feeling in me that was already there since I was happy to be around my girlfriend again. The darker contrast of purples and greys against the bright pinks really shaped the clouds, and in a way I saw waves which was very cool to me. I really enjoyed the overcast sky against the vibrant colors it was a contrast that was pleasing to my eye, and I feel like if it was a blue sky it would not have had the same effect on me. I find this picture to be wonderful and I will use it someday to recreate this type of sunset where it is both romantic and mysterious should the circumstance come up.
Very nice critique of what is going on in the photo, how it affected you, and how you affected it (the romance of the situation)
ReplyDeleteIf you remember from 50c, there is not such thing as grey light, if you look closer I think you will see other colors.
