Yesterday evening we had a gorgeous warm night and I wanted to try something a little different with the sun setting.  Without completely blowing out the sky which wasn’t the objective here, I wanted to meter for the sun, underexpose the foreground and just use fill in flash to expose  Cristina,  and Dominic.  This way you can actually see the sun in these compositions.  They turned out pretty good I must say, even with harsh light. Can’t believe I got Dominic to smile!!  He never smiles for photographs.

Although I must say, I truly do love the last photo.  I didn’t capture the sunset in it, but it’s just a warm, great capture!
