Got these out the window of the plane on the way to Peru on a mission trip two weeks ago.

I know this isn't a setting or rising sun, but I thought it was cool.

This was last Friday at Shaver Lake in the Sierra's.

matt, that one is unbelievable

 

[Bowrange]

Matt,

That's awesome!

Thanks guys. That means a lot coming from the likes of you. I'm a total rookie with a digital and 99% of the time have it set on "auto". Every squirrel finds a nut once in while.

It still doesn't do it the justice of being there. Only God could make something so beautiful as sunsets.

Here is a picture of a sunset a few days ago. Modocer is baling some orchard grass in the foreground.

Another one taken a few minute later. I love it when clouds look like this - I call them Jesus clouds.

Matt, very well done. You'll make a fine photog!

Everyone has some very nice pics!!

Here are a couple older ones until I can get something. The marine layer here in San Diego is making sunsets very difficult.

Here's one from an old scan. The scanner I had at the time was pretty poor so the orginal was much better. Haven't tried many sunsets with the new digital yet.

My first attempt need to try the manual settings more and a tripod

One morning on the way to the hunting lease

Early morning drive in North East Vermont. The picture doesn't show it that well, but there was a beam of sun going directly up. I was running out of time trying to find a place to pull over and capture the sunrise without getting powerlines and houses in the picture.

 

[Dampland]

Not sure if this qualifies, but I always loved the sky in the background.

 

[JDC]

Rustyb-

Killer picture!!

Here's mine.

Awesome pics everyone.

Why don't we do this every month and JHO will offer a 128MB flash card of your choice and a SPUDZ lens cleaning cloth and holder to the winner. We can also offer a flash card reader to those that need that instead.

At the end of Aug we can run a poll to see who wins?

Or do you want to keep it without a prize winner?

I kept telling myself to bring my camera on the way to work because I've seen some really nice sunrises through the morning haze. Unfortunately, this is the only I captured. The others were much more beautiful.
