Sunsets - 01/14 - 01/21 (Josh)

Ok, first I'd like to say, these two pics were not taken in the past week. I was in Lake Tahoe for the long weekend, and I left my camera in Sacramento at someone's house, so although it will be shipped to me soon, there is no way that I'll get my pictures in time. Therefore, I'll have to settle with the most recent sunset picture which was from my trip to Morocco.

This one was taken during a sunset camel ride at the sand dunes of Merzouga. The sky had just started to get dark and was a great spectrum of blue and purple.


Instead of a sunrise which I have, I thought I'd spice it up and show one of the pictures I took at midnight. It was a full moon and as it rose to it's peak I wanted to try and make it seem like a sunrise. After trying a million different things, I finally settled for a 15sec exposure and ISO 1600. I was really happy except for the stupid Spaniards (no offense Pere) who were sitting in this one dip ahead of me and kept turning on this green light.



Next post, I promise will be new pics!
