Great shots NEK. Now I'll go look at your store!

Neither are very interesting. Trouble is if there was something there ie truck or buck or bear it only becomes about that so the road and soothing green trees are lost. Either, however, might make interesting wall paper.

A couple from last night's sunset. The fires out west are adding some enhancements to the color.

Sebago Lake in Maine last week. Pretty good weather most of the time.

Sweet photos. Reminds me to post my photos from my work - vacation at Baxter State Park.

Billski, take pictures of your Katahdin summit celebration! Just don't spill the champagne. It upsets the children.

LOL! Hiked Katahdin every day and never summitted! Wouldn't have mattered we were in the clouds anyways.

But hey, we didn't have paparazzi or a six figure sponsorship following us either!

August 1st (two Saturdays ago).

I like it. Did you use a filter to achieve the blue effect?

 

[Abubob]

So billski, is this the before or after pic?

No filter. When conditions are right, just after the sun goes below the horizon, much of the sky turns a deep blue called the "Blue Hour".

The long exposure of the picture picks up the blue light reflecting off of the surfaces in the picture.

That's pretty cool. I guess I don't have much of an artist's eye because I've never noticed the effect on my own.

Last night a thunderstorm to the west of me took on interesting light from the setting sun. I got some pretty good shots but I'm not sure which ones I like best
