RE: Colors the Likes of Which Cannot Be Captured

Thank you. It's interesting how in some people it provokes the feeling of warmth. Maybe it's because I was there that to me it signifies that moment when there begins a chill in the air. Everything in the foreground is cold and the Sun appears to be escaping, mocking the viewer that it's rays aren't going to provide warmth for long :)
It was July, a warm Summer day. Even so off the shore it became apparent everybody on the barge would need a jacket for the remainder of the evening.
Nice snap above. The colors have a lot of variety. I haven't used a disposable camera since I was a kid. Remember they were quite fun especially the water proof variety. Did the one you use have a plastic lens? The flare coming from the Sun is telling that the lens was a simple element which gives it a one-of-a-kind look. Come to think of it disposables have a prime lens which is a single element I believe. They must let in a lot of light. I.E. a very fast lens. Something to think about.

Wow that sounds like a wonderful evening. I believe it did have a plastic lense. It's not always easy to fully express in words obviously... I meant warm in the sense of just feeling good or comforted by that magically powerful orangey red. Cheers!

It was a wonderful evening. It was the 4th of July celebrating Independence Day. This sunset was shot standing on the barge of a 300+ mortar fireworks display for the community on shore. Here's something from earlier in the day

Very unique!
