Do you have any idea how many combines I passed up on the way home last night?  I could have posted images of combines in the field, harvesting beans, corn, just sitting in the bare field, and even parked in a framer’s driveway. 🙂

I saw this image on the way to work yesterday morning and made a mental note to stop and take an image in the evening.  I had to work late yesterday (trying to get caught up) so I was running out of daylight pretty quickly.  I’ve photographed the Kleins in all types of lighting conditions and all types of weather but I never get tired of shooting them.

I knew the evening sun would be shining on this scene around 6:00 pm and I was lucky to get there about 6:30 pm.

Above is another shot I saw on the way to work yesterday and I wanted to shoot it as the sun would have been at my back.  I was as usual very late and I knew if I stopped and took a couple of images I’d go from very late to intolerably late and I didn’t want to try that out.

So even though I was shooting into the sun, it was low enough that I got away with it.  There is a hint of ground fog (or road dust) that has settled around the barn.  It is at a very low part of the area.  In the RAW condition you can really see it.  But as I boosted the black a little in the image it became more faint.

This sunset isn’t nearly as pretty as the one I had Friday night.  but a sunset is a sunset and not to be passed up.  I was behind the airport on Skyline Road when I stopped and captured this image.  There were no clouds in the sky to pick up the reflection of the sun.

That’s it for today.  Have I said lately how much I love this time of year.  We were talking at lunch today about the brilliant colors of the trees and how this is the best Fall we could all remember.  One of my friends said he thought it was because of the dry Summer that the trees were so colorful this year.  Makes sense to me.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy our midweek Wednesday and be careful.
