Life is busy and we so often spend our days rushing from one task to the next, and never really taking a break to stop and look around us. I hope that through my photos, other people will be able to see what a beautiful world we live in.

    no it’s not too dark, its amazing. Is that a fire in the background or a blazing sunset? I love the angel in the foreground Handie, great composition

  • Thank you Vickie!

    That is actually a yellow globe light. I thought there would be a whole bunch of them because I’d never been to the cemetery at night before, but there was one row on the main drive way. I drove in and it was DARK in there! Where I was shooting it was VERY dark and so I shot towards the light and I was so pleased to see that I didn’t just get silhouettes! I guess the fog just dispersed the light enough to get such a beautiful glow.

    As you can see – these were VERY long exposures so again, I was happy to get home and look at them larger and see the details coming out!

    Stellar shot Sandra!

  • Thanks Angela! I’m so glad I went out last night. My family thought I was nuts going to the cemetery at night alone! LOL!

    Stunning. I like the value range… the dark makes the fiery orange pop, and there is just enough detail to arrest the eye. Beautifully done!

  • thank you – I’m glad others can see the details enough!
