52 Photos Project . . . The Golden Hour

Last night's clouds before sunset!

This is our final week of 52 Photos Project

and I wanted to make this my blog post for the week!

What an amazing experience it has been!

I purchased my Canon Rebel T1i

just one year ago on Ebay 

(my first ever Ebay purchase)

 and I couldn't wait

to jump into taking photos.

I had the pleasure of first meeting Bella

at Squam by the Sea

the fall of 2010

and I had been reading about her

photo project online,

I decided that was exactly what

I needed to do.

This 52 Photos Project with

Bella Cirovic

has taught me so much!

Each week we had a theme,

we were to try to capture a photo with that them

from our everyday lives.

She had interviews, stories and so much

inspiration to guide us along.

She did an amazing job

and I tried to be as faithful as I could.

You can see some of my 

52 photos on my Flicker site

here

I got 45 out of 52 . . .  

Not too bad

for a new photographer.

So the last theme for this week's project was

"The Golden Hour"

that beautiful time as the sun

is setting

before it disappears.

I reached into my photos taken

this past year and decided to share some with you.

The sun setting is so beautiful.

Bella is starting her next 52 Photos Project next week!

I am jumping right in,

won't you consider joining us??

I took this photo in the Outer Banks a few weeks ago

on the sound side in Duck

Took this photo just before sunset in Corolla, NC

Another cloud photo in my own 

Virginia Beach Oceanfront

one evening

Sunset on the Beach in the OBX

It doesn't get any more beautiful than this!

My favorite of all photos

I think I am getting the hang of it
