I hope you find this image mouth watering. I am taking a 3 week break from posting macro pictures. I will be traveling and my macro lens was not invited on the trip

On Fire

I never photograph sunsets. I think it’s been done so many times and by so many talented photographers, that there is nothing new I could possibly contribute to the art of sunset imagery. I happened to have my camera in hand when I walked by this pampas grass which seemed to be on fire with the sun setting behind it. It was practically in my backyard and I snapped a few frames. I recently posted it on FB and G+ and was amazed by its popularity.

Lessons learned:

1) People love sunsets

2) Even if a subject has been done millions of times before, try to shoot it differently, add you own personal vision and create something a little different.

I watched Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris last night. Good thing I’ll be there soon again, as it really made me long for home…
