Sunset over Screveton
As I turned into our road tonight the dusk sky revealed itself in glorious shades of electric blue peeping out from behind pink clouds. This had been hidden from me by my car roof and direction of travel. Naturally I took pictures. And naturally, the colour of the sky revealed on the camera screen, was a poor imitation of the real thing. This remained true even as I manipulated the various colour settings available to me. I used the sunset setting to get the reds/pinks, but then tried the landscape and firework, and even the food settings, to enhance the blue. It didn’t seem to work.
Sunset over Sherwood
However, none of this mattered as my computer refuses to read the card. This is the second time this has happened in a week, but as I am using several cameras and cards I didn’t really get on top of the first incident. It looks like I can still access photos on the card, but I just can’t access ones I have taken in the lat few days. I had thought it was the camera at fault, but as it has happened with two cameras it looks like it’s the card. I wish I’d worked that out at the time as I might have some magnificent shots of tonight’s sunset. However, you will have to put up with some shots of previous sunsets. With any luck, I will get another chance before the winter is over.

We get some good sunsets at other times of the year too, it’s just that with them occurring round about the time I return home, it’s easier to see them in winter. Of course, like fish and items for your collection, the ones you get are never as good as the ones you miss.

Same place, but later
I love your sunset photos!
Thank you. 🙂
Cards can be very touchy things. I hope that you can get yours speaking to the computer soon.
I have ordered some new cards. Compared to the cost of just one roll of film they are really very cheap these days and I would like to avoid losing any more sunsets. I must also start printing out some photos or we will have no permanent record of family life for the future.
I am thinking about that ‘permanent record’ and have not come to a conclusion about whether to take steps to leave anything behind on purpose.
It’s a tricky thing – the children and (in your case) grandchildren, know you, but the next generation may only know you as shadows and might appreciate photos.
The photos are beautiful, Simon, Sunsets and sunrises at this time of year tend not to disappoint the viewer.
Those last two are particularly good
Thank you Derrick. I now have a few more . . .
Sunsets here and where you are are always a welcome way to end a day. Thanks for the shots.
🙂
