A million dollars
The coolest thing (ok, one of the coolest things) about photography is being able to make the simplest, humble things look like a million dolars. It is all about the way you shoot, not about the equipment you have. Good angle, shadows, contrast, position... it all counts and is worth paying attention to. Not that I am an expert, but I like to try different things and learn.
I went to shoot a sunset that turned out to be not the most magnificent (and we all like magnificent sunsets, of course). But the sky had nice colours, and I did not want to waste it. I went to look for some obstacles to be able to shoot against the setting sun. A common trick is to get a nice, jet black silhouette.

I found some taller weeds growing on the side of the road - perfect!! :D
At this time of the year, and it was mid-fall, the threes and all the autumn berries had the most amazing colours. But this is not about that. There will be time for it.
Let's enjoy the golden sky and the shapes of what was left after summer.

What you say, dear friend @ewkaw, about photographic shots is very true, everything is in the eye and hand of the photographer, not so much in the camera.
What beautiful shots, I love nature and seeing it this way makes my skin crawl.
I appreciate you letting us know about these great shots.
Have a beautiful night and a happy start to the week
Yep, it also takes a little bit of practice to see what works and what doesn't and which result we like. All fun though :)
Wowow...I never seen such a beautiful sunset...adding style and besuty with simple ways.
Thank you!
And one would think its just some dry weeds :D
That depends...few days ago I took a casual sunset pic.....it was for the reflection on the water body....but everyone looked it as simple sunset....
Oh that is pretty! And not just the sun reflecting, but the whole water has such cool colours.

Nature is always beautiful when you do it right. I love these picture, they send good vibes to me😄😄
Oh yes... but it is so much fun capturing it the right way :)
Yeah, you are correct about that..
I'm going to try taking some photos of a twenty dollar bill in the right light to see if I can make it look like a million dollars.
Nice shots!
Please post tutorial! :P
🤣
😂
😂😂😂
My secret is out!
Very cool shots!
I totally agree with you!
I just started a round of my #pobphotocontest which has the subject minimalism. That is just what your pictures are; simple, but beautiful.
Thank you!
Oh yea they would fit to the topic :)
I could see the first photo printed out in large size and hanging in my home!
{I guess I would have to pay a million for it}
Make a couple of photocopies and send it to me too 😜
Did we just invent inflation in photo currency? 😆
😂😂😂
Hahahah it was a warning title :D
Beautiful golden photos!
Thank you!
It was indeed magnificent! The results are sooo captivating 😳😳😳
Thanks a lot :)
You're an expert. No need to be so humble. It takes a lot of patience to get those small tiny thin twigs in focus. And then add the fact that you want them to be jet black. Lovely photos!
Thank you! :)
Far from being an expert, though it is nice to hear :D They wouldn't turn out well if it wasn't for the camera and less too.
@ewkaw The against days what a fascinating subject. The autumn suns are the most beautiful of the year. Bravo, what a beautiful photo, the black of the backlight on the plants and the orange of the sun make the photo perfect. I wish I had taken more photos. But for me this year I am punished with 4 months of rain with one day of sunshine per month. It's about making up for it by taking 10,000 photos in a single day lol. I need some advice, could you help me? You used a Tamron 70 - 300. How far away were you to take your photos? At 70 or more around 300 thank you in advance for your answer.
It is never too late :)
Thanks a lot!
I think you are very humble. You are a very successful photographer. It's an art. And you are talented. Yes, taking photographs can be learned, but perspective is a skill. 🌸
Thanks a lot! :D
I know I am not as good as I would like to be... yet... :) But I am quite happy with the results.
I'm wowed by these photos of Sunset, it comes out beautifully with all the hues and shades of sunset represented. I liked the trees sticking out.
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Shadows against a sunset always look very impressive and romantic👍
True :)
That is what makes photography an art. You went beyond just the sunset to make it a special sunset! Well done!
Thank you! I am still not exactly where I would like to be in terms of photography, but I sure enjoy shooting :)
