Sunset over the Rockies
Dec. 14th, 2011 03:01 pmSunsets are always pretty photography subjects—expect more at some time or other here at
shadomanda. And sometimes, Mother Nature makes them extra pretty: these two birds were kind enough to do a fly-by just as I was pressing the shutter.

Lighthouse
Nov. 12th, 2011 01:22 pmUsually, taking photos by pointing the camera toward the sun isn't the best idea. However, if you have something blocking the actual sun, it can make for some interesting effects. Like this upward photo of the Faro de Pechiguera in Playa Blanca on Lanzarote.

By silhouetting the lighthouse and having a bit of sunburst around it, I think it's a rather different photo from "usual". As is proved by this version taken from the other side with the sun in my back.

*squints* Hm, it's also very phallic, I suppose...
