Direct Shot of a Sun Setting

This photo was taken on auto focus. No editing was done on this photo. Isn't it interesting that the sun looks more like a large star than a sun? When I took this photo, it was still quite sunny but because I pointed the camera directly at the sun, everything in the surrounding turned dark and distored the amount of brightness of the environment. This photo was taken with an 18 mm lens (wide angle shot).

Sunset Photos

On Father's day, I took this photo of the sunset while I was in the car. Considering the car was moving, the photos came out great. I never thought I could take a nice sunset shot here in Temecula. It's not like we're near a sea shore or in a tropical setting. Temecula is in Southern California and no where close to the coast.

I took this photo in auto focus at a wide angle. Not bad, huh! There were no editing other than cropping the photo with these photos. I took more sunset photos but decided to just post these two. Hope you like them!!

The start of a new hobby and blog!!

Hi Everyone!! I'm starting a new blog for my photos. On Mother's Day, my husband bought me a new camera - the Canon Rebel XTi and I'm slowly learning how to use it. I'm also learning how to use Photoshop!

I didn't want to post all my photos on my card and stamping blog sites because I'm not sure if readers for those blog sites want to see my photos.

I love learning new things and I think I found a new hobby. It's always a good thing to learn something new.

Photo details:

Taken on autofocus with no flash, I took a picture of my daughter with the intention of taking a photo of her looking like she is holding the sun but it did not work out that way. The sun was shining to brightly but where I was located, I could not take a picture of the sun when it was closer to setting.

The top photo was edited by cropping the original photo then reducing the gamma. This caused the foreground to darken and brighten the sun's rays. I like how it turned out. The second photo is the unedited version of the photo.
