Warm Thoughts: Fun With Sunsets

As I sit here typing this I can't help but feel that summer is long overdue. Being from Ohio, I'm more than used to some wild weather, but none as annoying as the prolonged winter we have seemed to have this year! It is now April and the first day I've experienced the warm sun was yesterday. Anyway I figured my post should be a little more warm to accommodate. This photo was taken down at Lake Gaston in North Carolina. My family goes there every summer to have a week of fun, tubing, wake boarding, swimming, and everything in between. This past summer was the first time having my DSLR down there and I knew I couldn't pass up a good sunset with my new camera. I waited for a good sunset and dashed toward this spot about ten minutes away from the house. I took my little cousin Danny with me to play with another one of my cameras. It was a blast and one of the first times I started messing with the shutter speed. Some of the photos came out a little noisy, but a lucky few came out with some good exposure of the colors. I was fortunate with this shot due to the boat creating a shadow moving along the horizon. Either way, this is another favorite of mine, on this not entirely warm day.
