Looking for Inspiration

I have been inspired to look for the light and take better photos. Once the sun set over the escarpment I was relying on reflected light from the clouds and with no tripod it's a bit dark.

I am also practicing manual focus. I miss my very old camera with the split circle, all I had to do was focus until the circle was complete.

On my new camera I have red pixels. The brighter the pixels the better the focus. My fuzzy eyes like this new addition as I don't think my night time shots are very sharp even with a tripod.

Thank you to everyone for your beautiful photos. I am inspired to learn more.
