Shooting My Neighbor [Contest Finalists April 2004]
Uploaded: April 10, 2004 03:12:18
Caught my neighbor shooting the sunset with his camcorder, so with my last shot before the battery went dead, I got this one.

And you shot him well! Great view and image! #116006Bonnie C. Lackey April 10, 2004
So appropriate! Not just another sunset but one with a photographer in it! Love the title, too. #471653Carolyn M. Fletcher April 10, 2004
Thanks Kenton and Bonnie! I have 2 neighbors (weekenders) who follow me around when I'm out shooting with their cameras so I can show them what to shoot. Please note, none of us are famous yet. LOL #471656Colette M. Metcalf April 10, 2004

Well, I beg to differ Carolyn, you're famous, and not just for your sunsets and this one's certainly no exception. Don't you carry a spare battery with you? That's surprises me, as you always seem so charged up with life. Exceptionally well done, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan #471767Carolyn M. Fletcher April 10, 2004
The battery was in the house and I was on my way back up to get it when I turned around and saw this and decided to see if it would squeeze out one more shot. It did. #471777Kathleen Clemons April 10, 2004
Well if they want sunset photo lessons, they went to the right source! Beautiful image, Carolyn! #471793Carolyn M. Fletcher April 10, 2004
