Artist Notes

There's an old saying I remember hearing from my Dad ... "Red sky at night, sailor's delight ... red sky at morning, sailor take warning." Since the lighthouse image was taken in the morning, and the cloud image was taken at night ... have I confused the universe??? This image is a compilation of two shots. The lighthouse was taken at York, Maine, on September 4, 2008 with the Nikon D40x and the 70-300mm vr Nikon lens. Shutter 1/2000, aperture f5.6. The sky was shot in Montgomery County, Maryland with the Nikon D40x and the 18-135mm Nikon lens, shutter 1/80 aperture f/4.5. They were combined in Photoshop. An artist's canvas texture was added in Corel. My thanks to Solstock for the additional texture.
