A Beautiful Missouri Sunset

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

My wife and I take date nights every two weeks that are based around our love of photography. We typically begin by going to dinner and follow it up with a photography adventure. Sometimes we plan our photo shoots ahead of time, but more often than not it is a spur of the moment decision.  About a month ago we headed to the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri for this event.  We were able to take some incredible shots of the city, but as daylight began to fade away our attention was drawn to the sun setting in the western sky.  This created a beautiful scene and resulted in one of my favorite photos of the night which is pictured below.

What an awesome and sweet date night idea! I might steal it! And that sunset- sheesh! So beautiful!

Thank you!
You should give the photography date night a try - they're a lot of fun!

It's officially on the list- what have been some successful ventures?

We themed a couple of our outings around nature and visited a nature sanctuary on one of them and a wildlife area on another. We ended up with some really nice pictures.
At he nature sanctuary we found some deer to photograph as well as a beautiful natural waterfall in a stream.
When we visited the wildlife area we were hoping to see some more deer, but we didn't find any. We decided since there were a lot of bugs and wildflowers we would photograph them instead. It turned out to be a great time!
Always keep an open mind about what you'll be taking pictures of and I'm sure you'll have a blast!
We are taking one of our date nights this Friday and I don't know what we will be taking pictures of this time, but whatever it is I know we will be together enjoying each others company:-)
I may write a post in the near future about different themes for photography date nights......

These all sound great - there are enough parks nearby that we could totally do some of the nature themed parks. Great Falls comes to mind. Have a great date night and please do post on ideas!! Also could you include what to do if you have 1 DSLR and 2 iphones...e.g. how can we share?? Is it possible?? :)

Great Falls sounds like it would be an amazing place to take some photos!
I will do my best to help you out with how to share your photos.
If you don't mind my asking, what DSLR do you have - this may come into play with the photo sharing.

Don't mind at all - it's a canon 7d mark ii

Nice camera!
I love Canon DSLR's they're my favorite!
If you use a MacBook the files can be shared really easy...
just load them onto the MacBook and press the share button....make sure your phones and computer are set up for air drop, select the photos you want to share from the computer select the air drop option and choose which device to send it to.
If not it will take a little more work, but can still be done.
If you are using a windows computer you can send the photos to your phones via email. When the email is checked on your phone just hard press it so that it pops up and gives you the option to save the photo.
Hope that helps...If you need any more help with it feel free to ask!
