Project 365 - Day 17 (Watch This Space!)

You can always tell when I haven't had made time to shoot during the day because I always try to get a sunset (see below).  But...I found this shot well after sundown. I love the composition, the mood, even the soft focus.  As a piece of "art," it works quite well for me.  From a technical POV, though, the biggest flaw is the noise.  (Click for the hi-res photo and the noise will be apparent.)  My current camera does not like low light conditions in the least, but my new processing software (I use Lightroom and am testing ver. 3) reportedly performs miracles on the noisiest of photos.  However, like almost all tools, the user still has to know how to USE the tool to get the job done right.  As I just downloaded LR 3 a couple of days ago, that is something I have to learn...

So watch this space.  This shot has potential....

 
But here's another nice sunset over the prairie:
