Tonight was another beautiful sunset. Took my breath away. So of course I grabbed my camera. Enjoy

Twilight

I love Twilight. I love the color the sky turns and the way the world changes. Everything calms down a little. Like we are all waiting for the sun to dip below the horizon.

These were taken on a warm February evening in Lynnwood outside our house. It was a peaceful time as Kelly and I stood on the porch and watched the sun leave and the moon arrive.

Love is always sweeter in the dimming light of twilight.

Fun with Photoshop

Posted by Whitney Shane at 11:14 PM Labels: photography 1 comments

Taking pictures of my dogs is a hobby of mine. I think they are just too cute! I am also trying to learn Photoshop, one day at a time. Today I combined my dogs and Photoshop.

I amuse myself. I keep looking at the pictures and laughing. So, for your enjoyment.... My Photoshop skills:

My Maddy is SO funny!

This is Buster!!

Kelly said she looked like a Jewish Dog (which I didn't know exsisted)

Beautiful Sunset

Posted by Whitney Shane at 7:28 PM Labels: beach, Kelly, photography 1 comments

Kelly and I went to see the sunset at Edmonds Beach today. It was amazing! Bright red light lit up the Eastern sky and shot rays of red through the clouds over the Olympic Mountain Range. And I caught it all on camera. Unfortunately for me, I didn't make sure all of the pictures I took were uploaded to the computer before I erased all the pictures from my camera. I only uploaded 15 of the 30 I took. But I still like the ones I have, so it is not too big of a loss.

I love taking pictures and I especially love taking pictures of ferry's. They are part of the charm of the Puget Sound area. Kelly and I were discussing me going to cosmetology school so I could learn how to do hair and makeup and take pictures of people for a living. While I think that could be fun, taking pictures of people is not my favorite. I like taking pictures of nature. Snow on the trees, flowers in my parent's yard, the water, sunsets.. all of it. My pictures may not be the best, but they are beautiful to me.

I am glad I haven't taken lots of photography classes, or I might judge my pictures too much. I don't think I would like them as much if I really knew what to look for in a picture.
