Last evening, I saw a bit of color in the sky. It wasn’t spectacular, but it looked just right for my purpose. I wanted to test the automatic settings on my new camera. I had worked enough with the point-and-shoot unit that I knew how to get it to do what I wanted. Would the new one work as well?
The following shots are straight from the camera. I only resized the images, no cropping and no other processing.
A wide-angle shot captures the context
Before I clicked, the display indicated “Strong Back Light.” To my surprise the shutter activated twice on this shot. Then the screen said the camera was processing. What you see above is what came out.
I zoomed in to capture the sunset part of the scene. I expected to see more color.
A larger percentage of sky left the foreground darker
There is one part of the second picture that looked interesting. To look closer, I zoomed in yet again.
Looks almost like a surfer
In two minutes, I had concluded my experiments with satisfaction. One more done with many, many more to go.
Good Friday
Today, most of the Christian world observes Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. His final words are translated thus: “It is finished.” The Greek word is “tetelestai.” That word is a term of commerce that was used to indicate that a debt had been paid. Today, we would be more likely to use “Paid in Full.” Do enjoy the day.
Love the picture and the translation.
Thanks.
Paid in Full. That is a translation that gives you pause.
The pictures did turn out nice. 🙂
Thanks, Rosey. With that understanding, I came to a deeper understanding of what happened that long-ago weekend.
Good Job!
Thanks, Robert.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
The pictures came out good. It looks like your new camera will work fine. I like the pattern of the clouds in the last one. The closeup was a good idea.
Thanks, Ratty. I agree. 😎
Glorious captures! My favourite time of day, I love sunsets! 🙂
