Into the Sun...
I took these pictures last week at sunset, a professional photographer would not be impressed, I am sure the sun spots are not something to strive for but I love the way these turned out. Dare to be different...

Lens flare has a solid place in photograhy and I think it works here. I like the composition, however, I'm not certain if the physical quality of the photographs is diminished because of the web. There seems to be a focus issue. A brightened foreground in the first shot I think would have helped. Nice work. And speaking of which, I need to work now.
Thank you for visiting Blunderview. Your comment was so kind, and coming from a stranger made it even more precious!!
your pics are gorgeous, I will be back.
As a postscript, and somewhat uncharacteristic and benevolent counsel, forget about any surmised impression your work might have on "professional photographers." Without getting into that age old discussion regarding the nature of art ("I don't know much about art, but I know what I like), contemporary artists aren't all they're cracked up to be these days. To wit, from the NY Times a few days ago, this lead:
"WHEN Jeff Koons's giant topiary sculpture ''Puppy'' was installed at Rockefeller Center in May 2000, the three-week-long process involved about 100 riggers, planters, engineers and studio assistants. They erected a 43-foot-high stainless steel armature, which they covered with foam and blanketed with some 70,000 flowering plants.
Robert Lazzarini, who started out as an assistant in Mr. Koons's studio, called on 45 different contractors -- from chromers and acid engravers to graphic designers, silk-screeners and metalworkers -- to fabricate his weirdly disorienting sculpture of a New York City phone booth, which became the hit of the 2002 Whitney Biennial.
For ''Wave UFO,'' the teardrop-shaped installation she exhibited at last year's Venice Biennale that created video light shows based on projections of visitors' brain waves, Mariko Mori needed a dozen industrial fabricators, as well as architects, composers and computer technicians.
Each of these projects garnered loads of attention for the enormous effort they involved. Yet much of the actual labor was performed not by the artists themselves, but by an army of technicians, studio assistants, artisans and engineers who worked behind the scenes.
As art with high production values has become increasingly common, the role of the artist has evolved into something closer to that of a film director who supervises a large crew of specialists to realize his or her vision. But there's a difference: in filmmaking, each individual -- from cinematographer to key grip -- is acknowledged, if only for a few seconds when the final credits roll. In the art business, there are no established conventions for crediting the people who transform artists' ideas into well-made objects. And some art workers may just prefer it that way."
Luc, I love the pics and the little red sun spots and to there charm, not all pictures can be perfect, but we can find some beauty in each and ever one, if we try. Love and miss ya loads, and tell Big Momma, the girls and Kruze I miss and love them too.
That was suppose to be add to their charm.
can I be more of a retard.
The most important thing is that YOU like them!! You always like to go out there and try to capture a picture in a unique way...keep doing what you're doing.
Refugee from reason...I'm not quite sure why they appear fuzzy, though I agree they do...could be the web...they are only fuzzy on my blog so I am not sure what happened.
About the post script: Artists that work big scale and use assistance from others in any way should have to share credit with them...they have the vision but it couldn't be accomplished without the expertize of others so they too deserve recognition. I agree if you like it, it is art to you. I have seen some strange things that are trying to be passed off as art...I can not wrap my head around it but I guess if some one else thinks its beautiful then it works.
Joyce...Thank You...by the way I love your blog and I hope you have a great time on your country get-away it sounds like fun...and the old stone house sounds gorgeous!!
