~A Sunset~

Just sitting on the porch tonight watching the sun go down.
It disappeared awhile ago and is hidden by the Tortolitas now.
A wonderful evening, no wind and temperature still in the 70's.
I could sit here all night long just soaking this scene all in.
But the colors will fade away and it will get cooler and darker.
I don't want to witness the diminishing of this beautiful sunset.
Another minute or two of looking, dreaming, and then I''ll go in.

Thanks for visiting me,
I'm going inside now.
Goodnight!

Epilogue #10

When I signed up with Blipfoto, 355 day ago, my hope was to learn more about my Canon A650 point & shoot and how to use a camera properly. Since then I've upgrade to a Canon 40d dslr and I'm still learning how to use a camera properly. I've mentioned that back in the 70's I use to shoot black & white, and had my own darkroom. My love for black & white photography is still in my heart. But when I joined the Blip I thought I'd give color a try. Now, I doubt I will ever go back to B&W, because now, I am very much captivated with the color image. I have even been know to over saturate my colors, occasionally. Those that have look at my journal know that I maybe understating the obvious. I am in love with color! Bright, saturated, in your face, knock your socks off color. But believe it or not I have learned, and am still learning, not to get to crazy the color slider-bars. In other words, I'm trying to use a little restraint with my over-saturation tendencies. But for me, the photograph, when it come straight out of the camera is just the beginning. It's almost like a blank canvas, just begging to have colors splashed all over it. For some photographers a true and honest depiction of a scene is the ultimate in photographic achievements. And I admire their ability to render a scene. Though I'm afraid I'm a little off center in that department. But please believe me when I say, my photographic images are just the way I see them, in my eye, my head and my heart. So, the ultimate experience for me as a photographer would be for you, the viewer, to see what I see with your eyes and my soul.
