Beautiful Austin at Sunset

    I went downtown on Sunday night to work on some new drawings, and I was pretty sure that the gray clouds would not be conducive to shooting. But then, just as the sun dipped below the horizon, it tore through the city with bright pinks for about 10 minutes. I sped over to the other side of the Colorado River and jumped out for a quick shot. Luckily, I always keep the D3X in my car with me in case of a photo emergency like this.

    In other news, I finally did that 25 Things thing that has been bouncing around Facebook. If you don't have a Facebook account, I copied the 25 Things here to the site...

    From Trey Ratcliff at www.stuckincustoms.com

      It looks like the River cooperated well too. I remember when you could see the Capitol from that spot . The crane is not a good sign.

      Great work on this one. Chasing the light..I know the feeling well!

      I'm gonna pop over and check out the 25 things. I feel like I know you already though. I gotta get around to the 16 things on flickr. I was tagged about 3 months ago and haven't gotten around to it. Kinda late now!
