After the Storm by lauriehiggins

After the Storm

We had a 24 hour Nor'easter and the weather was dismal all day, until sunset. This photo is for Karen (@karen68) because I know she loves the amber light just before sunset and because she gave me my first glimpse of baby seagulls, which somehow I had never seen.

I'm writing a story for the Cape Cod Times about my experiences here on 365 and thought it might be nice to add some other voices from my friends here. Anyone who is interested in making a comment "on the record" can email me at lauriehiggins@comcast.net. I'll post a link to the story here when it's published.
Stunning capture!!

I clicked on your page and this gem came up. Wow.

I'll contact you soon regarding the pther photo project I do

This is such a beautiful shot, but I'm all distracted by your amazingly straight horizon! Wish my horizons looked like this, lol
October 31st, 2011  
@pwallis Crooked horizens make me crazy. I'd love to take credit, but I use Picnik to edit my photos and they have a very easy straightening tool that I love. I don't edit alot, but tweeks like that are important when you're trying to catch a bird in flight.

It cracks me up that you were looking at my photo at the exact same time I was including you in a comment on Keith David's site about the Cookie Monster photo. This is both a large community, and a very intimate one, which I kind of love.

@jml0306 Thank you, Joseph! Robin told me I would love it.
October 31st, 2011  
@lauriehiggins I have to straighten all my horizons post processing too:) I just read your rant, good stuff! Hope Keith posts again soon:)
October 31st, 2011  
@pwallis I hope Keith posts again soon too! I love him and his creativity blows me away. It was fun trading rants with you!

Man, I saw this a few days ago, but my eyeballs would not stay open. Am I too late to share my 365 experience? If not, let me know and I'll e-mail you a blurb. I love this place as well, and connecting to this community has been such a great experience...meeting great people like you, Laurie.

This is so very gorgeous! Perfect sky, beautiful bird in flight, and the subtle lighting on the water...wow.
