End Of Year View

    End Of Year View: Newport Pier Sunset: December 27 2011. © Copyright Stephanie Sawyer - all rights reserved.

    Newport Coast, California

    Well, I only have a few minutes! I've been working on a large graphic design job for the past two weeks, and have a bit more to go. But I wanted to catch up on flickr!

    So. Here it is! My first picture taken with my long, long awaited NEW CANON 5D mark ll. (now I hear rumors of a mark lll coming out!) But, I don't care! Now the bummer part is I have hardly got to use it. The other bummer part is, I didn't get to take full advantage of this AMAZING SUNSET. I was so excited to get down to the beach and get what looked like was going to be the best sunset of the year. As soon as I got to the coast, not even 200 yards from the water, was this huge wall of low fog. I had to scramble to find another vantage point. Well, the foreground is lacking here, but the sky isn't.

      An amazing sky indeed. Congrats on the new camera! Wow -- big leaguer stuff! You might not like the bkgd a whole lot, but the foreground and sky more than make up for it. Those clouds are killer!

      BTW, as I'm writing this, I'm seeing an amazing sunrise take form --but alas, I have no way to get set up in time.
