If my loving wife hadn&#8217;t prevented me, i would have shot pictures out of the window while I was driving (like someone we all know and love, who will remain nameless).  Anyway I was so energized by that sunset, I tried to get a good photo of a less spectacular post-sunset scene tonight from our front lawn.  The clouds were not nearly so accommodating, but the crescent moon and Venus (below the moon at about 4 o&#8217;clock) hung out nicely for us over a maroon cloud deck.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Now that I know this camera can do this kind of work, I&#8217;ll try some more in future evenings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Ed\/rakkity<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Details:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Dimensions: 1813 x 1406 (after cropping)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Device make: Nikon<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Device model: E4200<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Color space; RGB<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Focal length: 23.4<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Exposure time: 1<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Support: convenient tree<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike, Yesterday evening we drove back from a trip to the Pike&#8217;s Peak area, and the sunset was so spectacular I nearly drove over the median strip several times trying to get a glimpse of it.
