081/366 Goooooooood Monday morning!
Finally, sunshine again! Later in the week it should warm up some, too. I hope better light and weather will help get me back into the picture-making groove.
I have had the worst time with exposure for sunrise/sunset pics I've tried to take in the last couple of weeks. It's weird, I haven't changed any settings on my camera or anything in how I take the photo, but whereas I used to get nice saturated photos shooting in Aperture priority with auto-exposure and my exposure comp set to zero, now I'm having to bump my exposure compensation down several stops to keep any color in the sky. I can't figure out what I'm doing differently now from earlier sunset/sunrise photos that metered fine with, actually, less attention to the exposure. It's frustrating to drive out to a good spot for a brilliant sky and then be unable to get a good photo because of some mysterious thing I'm doing differently now than before. I'm more aware now, but that awareness isn't helping me make fantastic photos as the light slowly fades. Maybe figuring this out will reinvigorate my enthusiasm for practice.
