Lights

When I went out after the paper this morning I decided to get my photo for today done nice and early, so I went back in, grabbed my camera (yes, a real camera!) and took a quick shot of our front porch. I was hoping for better, but night shots are not my strength and I am using a new camera and I was in a hurry (always in the morning!) so...

Mondays - Colors and lights

I think it is a fabulous shot! The lights give a glow of warmth to it and the angle you have captured it at is perfect .

@grammyn Thanks... you are entirely too kind! And looking at it here, I definitely think I should have either not used the matte at all or made it creamier. The colors seem very different on my laptop at work and my computer at home... maybe I should not do this at work? Anyway, thanks so much for your continued wonderful support... love you! :)

This looks so inviting, nice shot Marilyn. You so right about the two screens, they sometimes look completely different..... sometimes shockingly so!

@marilyn I didn't notice any distraction from the frame so I don't think that is a problem.

[Marilyn Wigen]

@leananiemand Thanks so much, Leana... :)

@grammyn I guess we tend to be our own worst critics... at least I am! :) I still think the matte needs to be warmer.

[Rick Schies]

Well, you did a nice job with this, and the lights show up very nicely, and warm looking

[Harry J Benson]

great nice capture, the lights are captured well

@digitalrn @hjbenson Thanks, guys... I appreciate it! :)

Excellent picture, it is very hard IMO to get the lights just perfect, but they came out well.

if you wish, where are the hand rails around the porch?!?

[Marilyn Wigen]

@byrdlip Thank you... And no rails around the porch because the hubster and I have very different ideas about what they should be! :) I suspect new steps and all new rails may be in the plans this summer.

Your house looks great and well done on using the 'real' camera!
