Last Light

I wanted to get some pictures of the buildings in Balboa Park with the light of the sunset falling on them and some pink clouds in the background. I took lots of photos in the critical 15 minutes but completely failed to line up anything I liked. As I was packing up dejectedly I turned around to see the street lights just coming on and snapped this shot handheld.

I loved this one, simple composition and very effective, beautiful use of the street light colors against the deep blue of the sky and orange clouds. Did you think on the "thirds rule"? Perfect exposure. Nice image in the best sense.

Very moody ... beautiful picture

Another great one!
