The Light Lingers

Painted Fire :: NH

The light lingers, colors of fire and gold painting the hills, caressing the world in one final embrace.

Sunset and a Smile

Sky on Fire

I came from a B&W film background, where the color of the sky doesn’t matter.  To have success as a B&W photog, you need to train your eyes to see things like texture, lines and composition.

Whenever I’m teaching a new student, I remind them that there has to be more to a photo than just a pretty sunset.  Light is so very important, but it is not the only thing that goes into making a great photograph.

That being said, some sunsets are just too spectacular not to preserve!  This was taken a while ago, but it makes me smiile every time I see it.  I hope you enjoy it as well! 🙂
