Werner Paddles asked kayakers to submit photos for an ad layout. They loved this one and used it years ago. I didn't have a release from the guys in the canoe, so they removed them from the background. They were good at it.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Mountain sunsets and Arizona sunrises are nice.

Re: A Favorite Sunset or Two...or maybe a SunRise?
When I first got interested in Photography, I bought a set of filters for special effects. At first, I used them a bit. I especially liked the one that put stars on light effects. (I can't remember now what it was called, but pinpoints of light became stars.) I also had one that softened the images, and a Portrait filter that softened the edges.
I used them less and less as my "Eye" became better, and I looked for natural color and composition and left the "crutches" as my photographer friend called them, in the bag. HE gave me a basic photography book for Christmas and I learned a few things, basic rules. LIFE took over and the hobby was put aside for Career and Family. Later I picked it back up, but I had forgotten a lot ... but I hacked away and got lucky here and there.
I still love sunrises, and sunsets, and Macro shots like Clovis.

Re: A Favorite Sunset or Two...or maybe a SunRise?
What a beautiful thread in both pics and stories. Thank-you.
Days are very short up here in our north woods winters and lakes make good places to XC ski. Here I am, out on the skis, looking at my back trail as the sun gets low in the sky. Everything is so quiet and not a house in sight. I might as well be in the wilderness, but, no, just a short journey back to the house before the sun goes down.

Re: A Favorite Sunset or Two...or maybe a SunRise?
I love how quiet it is when the snow is thick on the ground and covering the trees. Our place in VA sometimes would get three or four feet... rare, but when it did, there was NO traffic on our tertiary road, it never got plowed until they caught up with the main and secondary roads, sometimes that meant it started to MELT before they got to us. Retired, I didn't have to worry about getting out. We prepared for the storms...
We were surrounded by state property. Both the state parks and the state forest. For a few days all you'd hear were the animals and the ice and branches falling. I loved it. Tina had a path to the barn and the chicken coops to take care of the animals but otherwise the ground stayed undisturbed other than the tracks of the deer, rabbits, squirrels..
The only other time I could find it that quiet was night fishing in the kayaks out of the big water.
