Alas the end has come...

I hope this was a valuable experience for everyone.  As is always the case, the Mod comes to an end more quickly than you can imagine.  I am required to get the grades in before Monday morning... so I ask that any last posts be completed before 9 pm on Sunday (tomorrow) night.

Have a great Holiday Season everyone and hopefully I'll see you down the road again.

Final Shots

For our last assignment I decided to revisit my favorite spot, the beach.  I went at sunset to afford myself a new challenge.  What a magnificent day it was today.  I got there at about 3:30 and finished up within an hour.  I had such a good time, I didn't even realize that my fingers were numb.

These pictures are very lightly edited.  Mostly a little shadow protection here and there, but I kept all of the sunset colors natural.  While I was choosing one of the million sunset shots I took, I remembered the notes from portrait week- about how everyone thinks they know how to take a picture of a person, but it's harder than it seems.  Well, the same goes for sunsets.  Most of mine all looked the same and I realized that I would much rather sit and watch the day turn to night rather than try to eternalize it.  Alas, I included some shots anyway.























Not only is this our final assignment, this is my last class at Albertus.  My BS is done (literally and figuratively).  I am thrilled that I decided to take this class to round out my curriculum- I have learned more about myself during my photography sessions than I thought possible.
