Sunset from My Balcony

I was cooking in the Kitchen tonight when I glanced out the window to see the most amazing sky, so I grabbed the nearest camera (there are a lot in my house!) and ran out to capture it before it was gone. I’m amazed this turned out as well as it did because I was hand holding it braced against the railing. It was a fairly long exposure, yet it’s reasonably sharp. If anything I probably over-sharpened it in Photoshop a little. Incidentally, I used this as my Photo of the day for my 365 Project.

Sunrise

I woke up this morning to the most amazing sunrise. I walked into my office window and the sky out the window to the back of the apartment was an amazing colour. Luckily I managed to get a few shot in before it changed to a more boring shade of grey and blue.

These are all straight out of the camera too, with no tweaking! Funnily enough, it was around this time last year when I got my Nikon D90 and I remember going out one morning and getting amazing sunrise shots and the sky was a similar colour, so I guess it’s a time of the year thing.
