Painted by the Master...

Ok, so I'm not a great blogger!  I would rather take photos than write.   Well, I'd rather do almost anything than write.  I have never been a good writer, in fact my kids helped me get through College English!!  So, now the secrets out, I don't write!  I have however committed to blogging more, dare I say it...twice a week.  So here it goes...

Along with blogging more I have decided to start submitting photos and put myself out there a little bit.  I saw an opportunity on http://www.rocktheshotforum.com/ to submit a Silhouette photo to their challenge for May.  I have a couple of photos that I took a while back that I love.  I had finished a shoot with the Sheltraw family and as we were chatting I noticed their boys sitting on the fence with an awesome sunset behind them.  It was like someone had a paintbrush and was painting the sky!  As any good photographer would do I stopped talking and started shooting!  It was so beautiful that night!  So now I have a chance to showcase one of those images (I added two to the post since I love them both)!  Thank you Rock the Shot for the opportunity to show these off!

These are pretty much straight out of the camera why mess with something that was naturally so beautiful and was being painted by the Master painter!  All I did was bump the black tones a bit to slightly darken the boys.   So beautiful - and I thought you had to go to Hawaii for sunsets like this!
