Fireborn -- footnotes, of a sort

I took a lot of sunrise photos then, since I was working on the student paper, which was a daily. And sunset photos too. With two small lakes on campus, a lot of those photos were over water. I was in charge of placing stories and headlines (and continued tags and everything else) on the pages. It was a late-night job.
That makes it...older than I really want to contemplate. Anyway, when it came time to post that chapter, I couldn't find it, and so used a photo from my trip to MOONCon this year as a substitute. But I really wasn't happy with it. It was far from Fiery.
However, I have now found the photo! And I went back and edited it into its proper spot in the story. (-: And just 'cause you folks are special, I'm copying it here. It's one of the photos that made someone with a real camera, with 35mm film and filters and light meters and all, tell me I was lying when I told them all I had was one of those disc cameras.
I'm still really pleased with this photo.
The photo on today's chapter is from a trip to "da UP" I took in 1989. This photo is from 1979.

Date: 2009-09-08 08:51 am (UTC)I obviously lucked out in getting a good-quality lens on that cheap camera. I've seen some cheap cameras where the lens distorted the pictures. And I also took a lot of sunset & sunrise photos, which gave me a really good sense of when it was too dark to bother to try.
Looking at pictures some others are posting, though, I am having real-camera lust these days. Especially the closeups. Cell phone cameras don't do closeups of tiny things, at least not yet!
