Christmas Skylights

December 28, 2012 by dorannrule

Two days have passed since Christmas morn and I am back to early rising. I am pitter-pattering around the kitchen, getting ready for the husband and the doggie to “rise and shine.” And, as usual, I forget to look up and out. Then something compels me to stop the morning chores and simply drink in the ever-changing view from the kitchen window.

Kitchen View Pink Morning

How breathtaking winter can be even though the north winds are howling as the sun also rises! It’s cold outside with a smattering of frozen snow, so I will stay warm and just take a picture through the window. But no – even though it is freezing and there is a wind advisory for this morning, I venture outside in slippers and minus a coat. Can I capture this magnificent view before it changes again and again?

Pink Morning Skylights

I need to take a course in working with a digital camera.

You should have a setting on it for low light or shooting into the sun. I think they all look wonderful 🙂 full moon coming

Thanks Eunice! I need all the help I can get. Have never changed a setting on the camera yet – just on “automatic.” The moon tonight was absolutely awesome but I forgot to take my camera with us and by the time we got back it was too dark.

Always the way send me a private message on make and model and I can tell you what to do in low light or bright sun if you think you need help 🙂

You’re getting to be quite a photographer! I love all of your beautiful pictures, especially the sunrises on this post! What time were you up? We are having short days now and it’s still dark when we rise up around 7 a.m. and it’s getting dark around 6 p.m.
