Assignment - Light - Dusk falls on Dallas

After work while on business in Dallas, I decided to go out for the evening starting with a stroll around the Highland Park neighborhood. On my way back to the car I found a large bush - or is it grass? - that was swaying in the breeze.

 

I wanted to capture how the light fell across the stems, and how the stems also filtered the light. I love the evening hours because of how the light softens and yellows.

 

I must have taken tens of photos of this bush, but I realized after a shot or two that I probably shouldn't point my camera directly at the sun, even if it's setting. Plus everyone in the parking lot was giving me looks.

 

Assignment - Light : This is the second in a series of assignments that I am working on with my friend colorblindPICASO. We started a monthly photographic assignment to challenge ourselves to become better photographers, both technically and artistically. In this case, he's got me beat. Not only are his photos for the assignment awesome, he also got them in on time :)
