Anahuac Sunsets

[mjdmike]

Met up with Patti, Tim, and TJ right before sunset to try to catch a shot or two of a really pretty sky. I had a difficult time choosing one favorite out of my bunch, so I just grabbed one I liked.

To make it official for the Nature and Wildlife forum, if you look reeeeeaaaaal close in the upper left corner of the photo, there are a few Glossy Ibis flying to roost...

Patti and TJ, it was nice to meet you, and good to see you as always Tim.

I hope to see your sunset shots too, as well as your other catches. Post your sunset shots here if you wish.

Nice photo, Mike. It was an awesome sunset, and I enjoyed hanging out and watching it with you guys this evening. Nice to meet you!

[Patti Edens]

Mike, It was great meeting you and Tim and it was nice to see TJ again.

What a difference 24 hours can make. This is what I was looking for yesterday!


I was using the 100-400mm on this one... 285mm, f13, 1/400sec, ISO100




I call this one Jupiter Rising because I think that might be Jupiter. It wasn't twinkling and it was very bright... 50mm, f16, 1.6 sec, ISO200
After looking at the sky charts, it was probably Venus, but I like Jupiter Rising better...

Haaaahaaa. Yeah, that's what Randy said when he saw my title. But I still like Jupiter Rising better than Venus Setting. Details, details.

Thanks,
Patti

That might be Altair (star). I'm just messing the whole deal up aren't I

There's a comet???? Why don't I know that? I should know that

Nice shots Patti. I like the one over the pond.

...funny Michael...

Those sunsets and the great wildlife are the things I miss about living in Anahuac.

[mjdmike]

I hear ya' Tim. It's pretty out there.

Here are a few more from yesterday afternoon. It always amazes me that just by waiting a few minutes, or moving a hundred yards over, the entire scene changes.

All shot HH with a 50mm 1.4

Nice shots Mike and Patti. It was a purdy sunset. It was great to finally meet Patti and her husband. Also good to see TJ and Mike again. I haven't had a chance to process mine yet. I have been concentrating on the hawk shots, which were top notch yesterday.

[mjdmike]

Thanks.

Great Tim, can't wait to see them. I didn't have much luck yesterday with those guys...

[Jim Victory]

Nice shots Mike & Patti.

Just beautiful!

Beautiful shots Mike and Patti. Sunsets on the water are very tranquil to me. Y'all need to print those or at least pick one out and print it.
