Header Challenge: A Winter's Setting Sun

January 16, 2013

Technically, this is called a competition, but with such a theme as we have now, there can be no losers.  This week's theme was chosen by Imac.  The image in my header was taken from the parking lot behind my church.  Notice the holiday ivy spiraling down the light posts.  I picked it, because of the dark part where I could easily superimpose "Craver-Vii."  Check out my  pals for their interpretations on the theme of winter sunsets: Fishing  Guy, Katney, Imac and Lew.

Freezing rain. It was the worst stuff you could drive in, but it made an interesting pattern of concentric circle highlights in the tree branches.

Since this was a low light situation and I did not want to use flash, I selected the camera's twilight setting to saturate all available illumination and it yielded this tripped-out amber hue.
