Evening Gold by maggiemae

Evening Gold

I had a photo all ready to post but then this sunset came and took over the sky. I took the opportunity to test my little P&S to see what it would come up with. It does have similar settings to my bridge camera but they are more difficult to choose. However, I did this and took this. I was quite pleased with the result. I did rest the camera against the post on our front porch.

You get get the whole depth of the sky better, enlarged.

Three good things:
1. Warm day - good to be outside
2. Got a balance sheet problem worked out.
3. Love the way I get challenged by 365 friends!
glad the three things came together such a Golden colour of the sky a fantastic photo Fav

Lovely sunset. I do so miss the NZ sunsets. I have to drive 2 1/2 hours west of here to get anything like an NZ sunset :)

@moreyoulessme @sugarmuser that's what I though when I looked at the shot! I don't know if it is the camera or my settings I have chosen. My other camera didn't capture this effect!
July 1st, 2013  
Wow! That's fabulous Maggiemae!
I think you've chosen well with your p&s.

Those are some gorgeously gilded clouds! Especially the ones up front...wow! So pretty!
July 2nd, 2013  
I forgot that you were in New Zealand! For some reason I was thinking this was in England and I was wondering why there were no leaves on the tree silhouette! :)
July 2nd, 2013  
What gorgeous clouds, Maggiemae, as I look out my window and see a very boring sky--sun won't be going down here for quite awhile.
July 2nd, 2013  
We are lucky with our skies here down in the south of NZ, Yvonne! Must be something to do with the nearness of the mountains! Its dark at 5 here at the moment - good to draw the curtains, pick up the knitting and watch the news!
July 2nd, 2013  
Amazing capture and so pleased you found a slot for it. Fav
July 2nd, 2013  
This is luscious and reminds me to mention that I love the way your three good things look for the cloud's silver lining every day

@abirkill Thanks for your fav - it put me on PP! Although I am a MAP (Mere Amateur Photographer) it gives me pleasure when I"m up amongst the gods in 365!

beautiful sky. i miss NZ
July 3rd, 2013  
@abhijit do you think this sort of sky scene only happens in NZ?
July 3rd, 2013  
@maggiemae no, it doesn't. i think we get it more often in sydney. But it brought back a beautiful memory when we were at lake paringa on the west coast. that was the only day I got a nice sky for the whole two weeks we were there :-)
July 3rd, 2013  
That's a shame but you will have beautiful memories of Lake Paringa?
July 3rd, 2013  
Glorious capture. Your little camera did you justice!
July 3rd, 2013  
@rwhite I think the secret Rosie, is being able to hold the camera dead still!
