A few evenings ago, I was out taking some photos with the little Canon S90 that I reviewed on this page a couple of weeks ago. The bird in the photo was an attempt to keep the neighbors’ chickens out of our yard. I don’t think they even see it, but it looks pretty nice blowing around when there is a breeze.
This photo is not an exceptional photo at all, but I loved the colors in the sky at sunset. Generally, clouds add a lot to a good sunrise and sunset, but, IMHO, here is proof that they do not have to be present to make a good photograph. This scene was just very peaceful to me and shouted out, God is love. I hope that you also enjoy the beauty!
Here are the camera and settings used to capture this image:
Camera: Canon s90
Focal length: 22.5mm
Shutter speed: 1/250 second
Aperture: f/4.9
ISO: 80
I invite you to visit my online gallery where you’ll find many of the photographs I have taken over the years.
Ron, this is a gorgeous picture. And I disagree, it is quite an exceptional picture.
I agree with Mary. This is a remarkable image featuring a magnificent sunset with the added bonus in the humorous addition of the dangling bird.
Great shot Ron.
I wish my “not exceptional” photos turned out this well. I love it!!
I agree, the colors are wonderful and the dangling bird is a lot of fun. Nice work, Ron.
Beautiful colors. Just a wonderful shot overall.
LOVE the bird!!! Great job on this one Mr. Trees!
Please, please PLEASE tell me that’s a fake bird. Lovely sky and a great shot.
Yes Connie, it is very much a fake bird!! No way would I be hanging a real bird out like this!!!!
Thanks all for the comments. You have made my day!!
