Riverside Sunset La Crosse
It was another amazing riverside sunset. I took these pictures about two months ago with my 7D and Tamron 15-55. I think it is so funny that people focus so much on gear and less on the craft and creativity of being a photographer. Don’t get me wrong I have done the same, and also thought it was a total lie before. As time goes on you learn that the things you learn from your circle of photographer friends will be miles better than any piece of gear you can buy. Anyways…getting off of my soap box for a little, I happened to be walking through Riverside Park a few months ago and took some pictures of the high water, trees and some other random. It so happened that my friend Alex was also at riverside, and since she is a tiny little thing I pressured her to try and fit under the waterfall in the friendship gardens for a quick shot. It was fun; she made it in and out without getting wet which if you saw how little the space was you would be surprised. I am really glad she was downtown, its fun talking to people while looking for areas. I really love the color in the skies we were getting that night. We had absolutely beautiful sunsets and silhouettes available that night. You can even see the change in the color of the sky throughout the night as I took shots of the same area both at the beginning of the walk around the park and then after. I even made friends with a squirrel that let me get super close…not even kidding, I had a 15-55mm lens so I was only about 3 feet from the little guy. He just looked back at me while he snacked a little. Enjoy.
