For the last several weeks, it's been making me crazy when I drive to drop Caro off each morning. En route, the skies have been these amazing firey glowing sunrises, but by the time I make my way back, they've diluted into a normal morning sky. Well... as time and seasons march on, it's gotten to the point where the sky is, shall we say, underexposed on the way, and perfectly glowing as I'm returning.

It's muggy here in Ohio, and especially so in this gouge left by a glacier a couple of years ago known as the Miami Valley. Mist likes to blanket the fields in the early am. Today, I pulled over twice and whipped out the tripod and camera. Too bad all I had was a little 12-exposure trial roll of Kodak UC 400, I could've easily taken twice as many.

You know you've taken a good photo, though, when after you snap the shutter, you still gaze through the viewfinder for a couple of seconds admiring the scene. Tried the trick of underexposing the shots for a slightly darker and edgier effect, as my camera tends to brighten things way up on shots it meters as correct exposure. Here's to hoping my gamble paid off.
