Here is the next installment of my vacation series. There was a thunderstorm in the late afternoon of my first full day home. I knew right away that if the sky cleared up there would be a nice sunset. I was anxious to attempt to photograph a sunset for the first time. And I was in luck. The sky did start to clear up and there was a pretty sunset, which got prettier the longer I waited. I played around with different settings on my camera to see what the effects on my photographs were. The sky was even pretty opposite of the sunset!!

I hope you enjoyed these photographs. I had fun shooting them, and learned a lot about how different settings affect the photograph-coloring, brightness, sharpness,…Stick around for more photographs of my vacation. I have some fireworks photos coming up soon!!!
Until next time...
