Orange sun

Another sun shot.  The sun was setting really fast so I grabbed my camera and shot a bunch of quick shots.  The camera was in auto.  I put it to manual but did not have time to play around to get better settings.  My problem is that as much as the orange is great, that was not the real color.  All the way zoomed out, i got the real color.  All the way zoomed in, was the orange.  I keep saying I am going to change my white balance settings but I keep putting it off!  I do like the orange though.

Color of sunset

I had to get some pictures two nights ago.  The entire sky was pink.  The first one below is what the colors pretty much looked like (they are still dulled. I hope I can one day do these sunsets justice)  The second picture was taken at the same time and same exact sunset but it turned out orange.  I think this has something to do with the white balance....or something.  I don't know!!  The settings are different for both, but is that enough to make the difference?

Winter sunset

In all the places I have visited and all the picture perfect sunsets I have seen, I have NEVER seen more beautiful ones that the ones in my very own backyard.  Here is the first of many I hope to take.
