same sunset, different views

A few friends and I went out to Golden Gardens on Wednesday night to hang out and watch the sunset. We all had cameras, we all took pictures from relatively the same location, and we all came up with several different photos.

Here’s mine shot with an 85mm lens:

And Brittney’s with a 105mm lens:

And Margaret’s with an 18-55mm lens:

And Shawn’s with a 10.5mm fisheye:

Whenever you get a bunch of photographers together to shoot the same subject, you always run the risk of churning out exactly the same photos. It didn’t happen this time. I love how you can tell each photo is from the same location on the same night, but each one has its own look. It really helped that we were all shooting at different focal lengths and focusing on different elements of the scene. It also helped that there were only 8 of us out there that night and not the 50+ of a normal Flickr meetup. :)
