Neon cotton candy.

in photography •  6 years ago  (edited)

Sundown continues to sneak up on me, and then, when I notice it; it sucks me into its silent beauty! Often, when this happens, my only defense is my camera.

This was one such occurrence, when the clouds were strung out like cotton candy with the sun already hiding behind the hills to the west.

Those clouds were the only thing the sun could reach, so it did it's best to light the whole World; by way of these cotton candy clouds! The amount of light these clouds gave off was so impressive; they almost looked like a neon sign!

I stopped this week in Lowgap, North Carolina and took a picture of the foothills of the Blue Ridge. I was delivering packages for FedEx at the time. I was inspired by the way the light was illuminating the hills, trees and clouds. Thanks for writing this post!

GOD Really is the best painter ever! Sometimes, when I am not too busy to look, He shows me stunning sunsets!

So I try to keep a watch.

Okay so the picture is really beautiful and full of detail. yes it is dark but it still has a lot of colors in it and no matter whatever the place but sunsets are always beautiful <3

The contrast is what drew me to this sunset! Everything else was dark, without color, yet the clouds were ON FIRE with a rainbow of colors. Sunsets are my favorite time for pictures!

In spite of my lack of talent at photography, ROFLOL!

That's true, sunset or sunrise these are a time for some naturally beautiful photos :) I am just about to post a photo of rain under sun, don't forget to check that out :D

haha everyone has a hidden photographer in them, don't worry you are good at it too ;)

GOD Does his best work at sunrise and sunset! The colors are brightest and most varied then, and are often contrasted with a dark background.

I will look for that picture when I get back home, Things to do right now.

:'(

True that, ALMIGHTY HASN'T CREATED ANYTHING WITHOUT IT BEING ANY LESS BEAUTIFUL :) sunset and sunrise are like heaven for photography .

good luck with the works @smithlabs Good day

I got some pictures today of another sunset out by the homestead. When I get them sorted, I will post some more.

You are right, GOD don't paint no junk! It was beautiful out there today, IF I took good pictures, I will share it with you too!

:)

That will be wonderful, let me know if you post any :)

I can feel that you have some very interesting photos in your bag, lets just see how viral do all those go in Steemit today ;)

I will let you know when I post the pictures. There is a water tower in the photo, that looks like a rocket taking off, with the sun as the take off flames.

Different for sure!

:)

I was lucky on this one for sure! Sunsets can take my breath away sometimes! The colors at sunset are exceptional.

My skill at getting pictures of them are not good, but every now and then, I get lucky, ROFLOL; and get a good picture or two!

:D

Yes!! You had somehow captured it at the right angle and the timing wa right too taking all the colors.. very very beautiful!

Hahaha practice makes perfect, you dont have to be a pro to get good pictures. In time you will learn where to get a great shot.

I am learning a little about how to get a good picture now and then.

wow!!!! I like the second one!! It is magnificent...

You really capture the golden hour moment and with the mirror effect.. excellent job!!

I love how the clouds were displayed like cotton balls.. hehehe..

See! you arent that bad.. you are quite geeting better at it actually.. This might get you a new passion and hobby to yearn to everyday!!

That is my favorite one too, would you believe that is in the middle of the suburbs? There is a water tower a block north of where this was taken.

:)

hahahaha its soooooooo cool!

you should publish your shots! They are really excellent.

If I get good at it, then maybe....

But right now I am still just Lucky, ROFLOL! So I need to get better at taking the pictures themselves, before I worry about publishing.
