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.

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.
