We were waiting at a stoplight before crossing a street here in Tübingen, when all of a sudden a tree and its sunlit backdrop caught my eye.
I didn’t have a lot of time before the light — both the sun and the stoplight —changed, but I quickly snapped a couple of photos. Today while looking at them, I at first thought, ah, this one captures the tree best:
A tree at sunset, Tübingen, Candidate #1
But then I tinkered some more with the settings, until I thought no, this one captures the tree and the light the best:
A tree at sunset, Tübingen, Candidate #2
But finally, I turned to the the second photo I snapped, and tweaked a littte more on that one. I’m certain now that this one captures that tree — and that moment at sunset — the best.
A tree at sunset, Tübingen (One a Day pick)
Only 30 seconds at the street corner and over one hour on the computer spent in my virtual “darkroom” to perfect a spontaneous scene in Tübingen.
Reminds me of the time you went over to the Delaware River to capture the perfect sunset.
Last photo of the tree looks spooky, a good one for Halloween. I like the second one best.
lovely pics like the little walker on last pic did you see it it kind of brings you into the present
