Set The Sky On Fire...

How many sunrises and sunsets do you sit and watch? Odd question, I know but its something I put to people now and then and I'm surprised at how few people do it. On holiday in some exotic place then yes, quite a few do it but at home most don't even notice. Being a photographer I spend more time being out very early or late watching and waiting for that right moment when the sun sets the sky on fire. As I do I watch many sunrises and sunsets, its not a case of taking the image then go, sometime its a case of taking the image then watch the theater play out in front of you. For me its helped me understand light more, what it plays in photography, by watching the sun rise or set I know what the optimum levels of light is, when it allows you to capture that moment just right.

More than all of this it simply makes me smile...:)
