I\'m keeping these shots to remind me NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN!!! In fact, I\'m using this one for my wallpaper on my PC.

Richard captured these next sunset images with his Nikon D40 on Dec. 22nd, 2006. I think this is the most impressive sunset we\'ve seen in our area to date.

12-22-06-By the time I got outside with the Sony, most of the real color was gone...but I love the ominous look of the low cloud cover.

December 18, 2006-Took advantage of unseasonably mild weather to go \'sunset searching\'. Found ourselves on a dead-end road and took a few shots. Sony H5-hand-held.

Richard got better shots with his Nikon D40-but couldn\'t get as close as I could as he still only has the 18-55mm kit lens that came with the camera. Guess what\'s high on HIS wish list!

WOW! Woke up to this site December 11th, 2006-grabbed the Sony H5, opened the window, and wedged the mini-tripod into the window frame. Wow! Wow! Wow! What I would give for a better vantage point!

Of 60 shots taken 11/26/06...I think this is my favorite. A different angle from the next series which were taken the day before this one.

The next 8 images were taken from the east side of the Great Miami River bridge, close to our home. The structure is the AKSteel Pavillion.

The tiny patch of river that is reflecting the sun may be a bit distracting, but I left it in the picture.

This is considered poor composition, to put the focal point in the center of the image....but I still like the shot.

This beautiful sunrise was captured by my son-in-law Jerry, in the Upper Pennisula of Michigan. He borrowed my \'old\' Nikon Coolpix 5600, which I never liked, and he seems to have mastered it. It\'s now his.

This JerryShot, and all of his others, and my daughter Jill\'s...which follow...were taken hand-held. I think they are excellent for sunrise shots taken without a tripod. Nikon 5600.

On the same trip to Michigan [as in the previous series] Jill took her little point-and-shoot Kodak, and took some impressive shots of her own.
