Superhero Photo Challenge: Twilight

I saw the movie Twilight a few weeks ago, the weekend it premiered, with a sold out crowd of teens and tweens. My husband and I giggled (and felt wonderfully old) as throngs of girls screamed each time the hunky vampire Edward showed up on the screen. It was so much fun. 

Ever since, I have been thinking about twilight in general and what a magical time of day it is. The colors in the sky are often so brilliant in contrast to the grey sheen over the rest of the world. This week's challenge is to capture life at twilight. What does your world look like during this little sliver of time?

For the giveaway today, I'd like to offer up something from my company Superhero Designs. The newest item at Superhero is a starburst pendant. It's not your typical star, but a bit more organic and sea creature like; something that evokes a burst of energy or joy. It also has the word "joy" engraved on the back. I am excited for one of you shutter sisters to have it. Just comment on this post and you'll be entered in the drawing!

Congratualtions to Mod Mom of Modobjectathome for winning your very own Joy Jersey!

Everytime I think of twilight I think of my mother. She always said it was her favorite time of day.
I love this picture!

The late afternoons this week have been spectacular. I've been mostly confined to the house during that gorgeous but chilly hour as the orange sun sets between the houses and behind the black trees. One afternoon I couldn't stand to remain in the house watching and I stepped out and took this shot of our street as the sun was setting.

And the necklace is beautiful!

[vivienne]

i've been swooning over that necklace. what a generous giveaway!

[Julie Alvarez]

Twilight has always been a magical moment for me, the most introspective one. A moment when I get caught by my inner self, the most primitive one.
I love that moment.
Here are some pictures taken during it. (Maybe they don't look introspective, but that's how I feel at that time. And true.)

I experienced a very different twilight one evening last week. It was spectacular for sure! http://3yrplan.typepad.com/soeursdujour/2008/12/it-was-a-dark-and-glowing-night.html
The sun had just set, it was shortly after 6:00 p.m.

[Jennifer]

[nikkole!]

what an exciting challenge...i cant wait for twilight to come!

[Suzanne]

I always have trouble taking low-light shots - probably due to my reluctance to commit by using a tripod. Nevertheless, I will take a cue from one of the posters here and try tonight with the christmas lights.

[raina]

I woul love to win a star!

[Mariella]

Twilight and dawn....my most favorite times of the day!! I love the lively energy that exudes from the necklace....it even transcends the computer screen! :) xoxo, ~ M.

[Cathy]

How beautiful & what fun to have a chance to own it!

[dr lyn]

OMG, I love this. I have one of the bullseye superhero necklaces -- my hubby gave it to me for Mother's Day and I wear it all the time. Your work is gorgeous.

I may have to head over and get one for a special someone for Xmas.....

[Belinda]

I tend to miss twilight as I am working from dawn until past dusk on most days, but sometimes I do catch an eerie glowing light covering the world as I am travelling; When the world is covered with frost or a small amount of snow, it just looks magical.

[Loran]

What a beautiful picture. Check out SkyWatch for more astonishing pictures from around the world.

That necklace is lovely, I might have to get it if I don't win!

[Brittany]

Hehe, I never could get into those books. But that picture, and that necklace, now that I could get into.

[kristine]

such a great photo!

[Tammy Circeo]

I was just thinking this week how gorgeous our evenings have been and was so pleased to be able to photograph my home with its holiday lights against a pink and purple background. It was really very pretty.

[Jami]

Twilight is always pretty when the sun is setting. I love the necklace.

[Jummy]

I can't wait to try my hand at this challenge!
