Backyard sunsets/sunrises

[Ben Egbert]

Inspired by Jims sit and talk rant yesterday where he says he hates to see a sunset when stuck at home. I hate to see them go to waste too so I sometimes just grab a camera and take it, houses and all.

Here are some of mine, show us yours.

Oh man Ben... Now that is not fair! Other then Darcy, who has such a cool backyard as yours?

I can see sunrise from my bed.

Those are some distinctly incredible sunsets Ben. Esp. the last one with the thunderhead stretching across the sky.

The Wasatch range is nice for being so prominent and in your face from the urban areas below that it really helps make the houses not overwhelming. This is the singular feature I miss the most about living in PNW instead of SLC. The Cascades are nowhere near as imposing on the landscape view as the Wasatch Mtns.

Darcy, you need to post a sunset from your backyard....

crap, I just got rid of all my photo's from last year...making a new start & hopefully better this year, thanks to Focal World and all the help & inspiration! I literally ditched all my photos from this year as they were just not what I felt up to par! This is one from last year though that I haven't deleted yet.

Darcy - a bit off subject here but always keep your old photos. Digital storage is cheap and always getting cheaper. As you learn new skills at post processing you may find that you actually have some hidden gems in the forgotten files. The images may not grab your eye now but as you learn different ways to recover a wider range of lighting conditions and get used to new goals for cropping for your comps you will find that your eye for a workable image changes to match your toolkit.

Not my house, but here's sunrise from my parent's back porch...

Envious of your backyard Ben. Love the view of the mountains.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Not quite the backyard but the neighborhood counts, I guess. Sunset after a snowstorm a while ago.

Truer words were never spoken, Alan. I still rue the days that I discarded images that I could fix today.

Not much of a urban skyline, but seems fitting for this tread...

Love the sky and the cloud patterns

I like having all the old photos around so I'm reminded just how bad my memory is

This is something of cheat-sunrise on Lake Winnebago. (only early in the morning when I didn't read the first post very well ) But it's all I get from being on the West side of the Lake.
