As I drive around these days, all I can do is think of what to take a photo of today. It's good and it's also kind of annoying. Not because I don't want to take pictures, or continue on this journey, but because it's too cold out there to get out of my car. I am not a cold weather person in the slightest! But (and yes, I started a sentence with but) I did it today. I made myself stop and take advantage of the fact that the sun had not set yet, and took some pics. I stopped back at the location I took photos of earlier with the gate. I think it's going to be my go-to place for another 351 days.
This mansion is going to be the first place I go to because:
- It is right on the way to pick my son up from daycare
- There are lots of things to explore and photograph, and
- It is about the only place I can get to before the sun actually sets.
These photos were taken at about 4:45 tonight. I am happiest with the first photo, but the second you can see how low the sun is in the sky and there are some fun rays there. I will definitely try this type of shot again. I want to learn the best way to get contrast in the trees while not blowing the color out of the sky.
Yes, any and all suggestions are welcomed and encouraged!
