Happy Valentine's Day

We decided to do things a little bit different and a little bit early for Valentine's Day. A quiet tryst on the way home after work, seemed to fit the bill.

We really couldn't decide what to get for dinner, so we settled on a simple pizza. A little pomp and circumstance involved was both nice and a little fun.

An ocean view and a setting sun, candlelight and strategic placement of the van and stationwagon, made for a nice, private little grotto.

After dinner, we decided to try our hand at some night photography, experimenting with shutter, shading and timing techniques. In this shot, the sun actually had set and it was dark out, but with playing with the settings on the digital camera, we were able to get something like this.

The headlight and taillight streaks were neat too.

We still can't figure out how the lights were so 'bumpy' in this shot. Still looks kinda neat though. Remember, click on the pictures to see a larger version of them.

After a little bit of playing with photographing by candlelight, we packed everything up and headed for home. Yeah, sometimes, it is nice to do something a little different than the same-old, same-old...
