Spontaneous Evening Photo Shoot

The weather was exceptionally good here in Texas on Monday and Tuesday. We had something going on Monday night, but I couldn’t resist the good weather on Tuesday. I wanted to do some night photography since the temperatures were warmer!

A couple of friends of ours don’t live far away, and one of them just got started in photography in December. Since they were on Spring Break, I texted them early that morning to see if they wanted to come over and shoot that evening. They said yes!


After dinner, the boys arrived. It wasn’t dark out yet, so we took some sunset shots.
The sky was really orange! This picture hasn’t been edited, but it does exaggerate the colors a bit.
Waiting for dark to fall is more fun with friends. J
As soon as the sun went down, the temperatures dropped and the wind kicked up. Unfortunately it was a little dangerous for steel wool because of all the wind. That’s why Ben is spinning in the above picture; to try to escape the sparks!
Me, spinning the steel wool with the wind on my back.
We switched over to light painting for awhile since that was safer. J
After about an hour, we couldn’t take the cold anymore. We called it a night and went inside to play cards for awhile. It was a fun way to spend an evening!
