icm (obligatory shot)
The sunset started in spectacular and over the course of a half-hour or so, just kept getting better and better.
After a while, I took a break from making regular sunset photos, and decided to do some with intentional camera movement. It’s kind of a cliche, a little redundant, perhaps derivative, but still I liked swirling the oranges and yellow together.

it could have been magic
I mean, it did feel somewhat like magic, with the purple door and orange trim, the low light, the bounced light, the salt air.
And anyway, who am I to argue with Chaddy’s Emporium and their signage? Surely they wouldn’t say it if it weren’t a fact.

still water
My friends and I went down to the water to see if the sunset was going to be worth photographing. (It was, as you may have already seen in a previous post.) While we waited for the sky to go out in a glorious flame of orange, we wandered around taking photos. You know, the way you do.

shower/stall
It was off season, so the door to the marina’s outdoor shower was nailed shut. For photographic purposes, all that meant was that I just stuck my camera over the top and made a few pictures. You know, the way I do.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I only do stuff like this if I am at least 100% certain that shower (or whatever I’m photographing) is unoccupied. It would be too weird otherwise. And also, probably illegal.

sky: afire
Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way: I went to Maine. There was a spectacular sunset one night.
There was other stuff too, so stay tuned. But also know that that nothing else I post is going to be quite this dramatic.
