I got a phone call from my daughter that evening telling me, "Dad, get outside...you're going to love tonight's sunset." She was right, I did. So I hauled ass to a decent location near my house and got some beautiful mountain and sunset shots.
Midway through the "blue hour" I pointed my lens further south and managed to see one of the more famous peaks in the range poking out through the clouds. This is what it looked like.
This is not a technically or compositionally brilliant shot but that's not the point.
To my daughter, "Thanks sweetheart. You know your old man well!"

Pass on my blessings to your daughter, Tom, for getting you out there

I most definitely will! I was editing photos for her high school when she called. I hadn't left the house all day so it was good to get out even for just a short period of time.

Yup...I just pushed a button but if it hadn't been for her, I would have missed it all!

lucky for us she has a good eye!!
Jun 28th ReplyHillbillyDeluxe
Yes it is. We've been working on training her eyes to find the best quality of light and she's getting pretty good and distinguishing between good and bad quality light.

Thank you Jurgen先生. Again this is more of a sentimental shot but I still wanted to post it as I haven't been able to get much shooting in lately and therefore haven't posted much.

You're most and very welcome and sometimes we need to have those sentimental shots too :)
