Share your sky pics. It is getting harder for me to make it in town and I can not see the sunset out of my window because of the trees. If you capture a beautiful sky you can post it here under "Write something" and include the date so I can include the weather stats in the spreadsheet.
In the years that I have been coming to Mount Pleasant. I have seen families, couples, groups of friends taking random pictures of the view, selfies, each other.
Guessing their response I often asked them if they would like pictures of them together.
Many more times than not, they were all for it.
A very few less than positive, some wanting to pay me .. gosh.
If you are out anywhere and observe others that might be happy to have photos, take a chance if you r froggy.
If you are here with others and you think a group/couple picture would be great, don't be afraid to just ask other chipmunks around you.
When it is hot and bright, there is no place to hide. Time it to start up the trail about 30 minutes before sunset.
You will likely be red and shiny. A blotter is an idea.
Looking toward the sun, if you have to squint, it is too early. Wait until you can look west and the sun will put a warm orange glow on your face.
Head and shoulder shots with the sun behind you, with your photographer about 5' away, the sun behind you and your camera's flash on.
Glasses reflections.. by turning your face at a bit of an angle the light will bounce off in a different direction
Taking pics at different times the sky will change
By moving the flash closer or further away, the intensity of the flash ... brighter/darker
Step forward-zoom out, Step backwards-zoom in
If it is a beautiful sky, sunset is not the time to go home. Photos at twilight are beautiful.
After dark, pictures with the city lights in the background are great.
When it gets dark, the ground below is lost. While it is light, one of my favorite photos is at post 32 where I stand higher and others stand on the other side of the rail, close .. pointing the camera down with the fairground buildings to include the
height.
Day time taking pictures when it is cloudy, I tilt the camera down to avoid the sky.
Time lapse : Start about 20 minutes before said sunset time, placing the sun in the upper left of your camera viewfinder and let it run :)
Where the sun sets each day of the year.
People having pictures taken with their pups 😋
Several times I was here when couples got engaged and was able to capture photos for them.
Looking west when the sun starts down, sun glasses are needed.
I often search facebook for photos and reaction of visitors. I have heard people expressing these thoughts but saw this post of someone I have never seen FBshare.
Random .. thousands of such
