Burning in the sun...


Burning in the sun..., originally uploaded by angryparsnip.

A few evenings ago the sky was just so pink. I love the way the bottom
of some of the clouds were highlighted so it almost looked like a
white line was drawn across the sky.
Of course this only lasted for a minute before the colors changed as
the sun set further.

I am still having trouble with some of my color settings on my new
camera. Most of the time the color is pretty true but on shots like
this when I was in a hurry and I didn't have time to change the
setting the camera zoomed in on the sun and the highlights which I
thought was very interesting.
In fact I really was impressed by the sky that was more of a rosy deep
pink with purple streaks as the sun dropped down below the horizon.

  2. It's an amazing shot Parsnip, the colours so dazzling as if they came out of a paint pot. And the silhouette of the ground is stunning. Such a contrast.

  3. Fabulous, makes me want to have a deep inhale and breathe it in. Isn't it amazing how quickly it all changes when you're watching it? I have a sunrise photo taken from my front porch today on my blog - doesn't have anywhere near this many colors in it. We are so lucky to live here with our magical skies.

    The sunsets in Arizona are unbelievable. You are so right, it does look like the colors just came straight from the paint tubes.

    I thought your photo was fabulous and how lucky are we to live in a place were we can just walk out our door and see skies like this. I love when you, Desert Colors and I post similar sky photos because we live so close to each other.

    I know you must be quick, I have the camera were I can get to it but figuring out the setting in less than a second is not something I am great at.

    I thought it was pretty amazing too, For the last few days the mountains have been lighting up pink in the evening so I know to walk out to the back yard and look West and then magic appears.
