Geometric Sunset

These beautiful, high, "stacked up" clouds are typical as part of the Florida afternoon weather pattern.

Like a giant hand pressing down on the clouds from above...

March 27th - Kite Runner

The sky was a beautiful blue with perfect white clouds - and the vivid colors of this wonderful kite provided the perfect contrast!

Okay so it isn't really red - but who could resist?

August 29th - Sunsets and Silver

I have been trying to master all the manual settings on my camera, and these sunset photos are definitely an improvement in technical quality over what I've done in the past. I think I'm finally beginning to understand the elements of exposure and how they interact with each other...

Sunset #1

Sunset #2

And one more silver sky because I wanted to see if I could do it again!

HEY - look up!

Here in Central Florida we often hear "how can you stand it - it's so FLAT". People are unhappy because they say "you can't see anything" or "there's nothing to look at". Granted the flatness takes some getting used to if you come from somewhere that has hills or mountains. I felt the same way when I moved here from upstate New York several years ago.

I finally decided to post a 365 photo blog to draw attention to the AMAZING Central Florida views. These are views that never get boring because they change day to day - even minute to minute. To make this point, all the photos here will be from within 100 yards of my house (I may cheat if something amazing catches my eye elsewhere, but I'll try to keep it really close).

You may have figured out from the title of this blog that I've been talking about the sky. Nowhere have I ever seen such a variety of dramatic clouds, storms and light shows. I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I enjoy taking them.
