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!

Beautiful that necklace, and with a good reminder, too.

Man, twilight is absolutely my favorite time of day. It feels a lot like being underwater, I think. Silky, heavy, full.

Andrea, I love the new necklace. It seems like a thought bubble that I would put above my superhero self head in a comic strip with "Yoink!" or "Nuh-unhhh!" inside it.

[Dale Smith]

I am fortunate enough to own 2 other Superhero necklaces and just love this one!

A starburst would be amazing!

[Lindy]

that really is a fantastic photo and the starburst necklace is too fab for words!

[Rachel]

My husband and I are living at my in-laws ,and I seem to catch a view of twilight several times a week here. I really enjoy it and feel like it is a time to just breathe and notice the world around me.

I also really enjoy that necklace....:)

[Chloe]

My favourite time of day. I have yet to master the art of taking the perfect shot but the skies usually do most of the work :). Thank you for the inspiration.

[Christie]

Being a Superhero gives me the chills, it's all in the remebering.Thanks for the constant reminders and sharing your joy!

[Lu]

[Ginger]

ohhh, how neat it would be to wear a star everyday!!

[Emilyt]

Love your necklaces (and Twilight) :)

[paula]

The thing I love most about twilight is the purple quality to the light just as day is being exchanged for night. There's just something magical about it.

[zalaine]

That is just about the cutest necklace I have seen - love it!

[nancy l.]

Beautiful picture - stunning necklace!! Joy is my favorite word for this season. I love this time of year and try to enjoy every minute of it.

[Misty]

What a great necklace!

[Heather Kennedy]

That pic has such a graphic feel, but such a soft subject. The darkness coming so early around here, made this a tough challenge, but I'm glad I had the prompt. Winter especially, makes me look to the winding down of the day moreso than the other seasons.

Most of mine are sunsets, this should qualify as twilight.

[tuckergurl]

I have adored this necklace since you first put it out! So cute. As for Twilight, it is on my list during my post Christmas/pre New Year break. Gotta see it!

[lora]

I have been lusting after the morning sunrise colors myself lately. Trouble is, i know that beyond my cozy front bay window it is like 2 degrees out in the morning. thanks for the inspiration. i'll have to get out there and just do it! =)

Love the necklace. i love that it reads "joy" in the hidden side closest to the wearer.hope it's me! =)

[Lianne]

I love the new direction you are going with your jewelry creations, Andrea!

[Erin S]

Joy is exactly right - a beautiful sentiment for a lovely necklace!

[*pixie*]

Love it all!

Twilight (the movie and the saga)
The image (such beautiful colors)
The necklace (so chic)

[Kyla]

I'm a fan of all of Andrea's work. I love jewelry but never buy any for myself. The one exception to that is my Superhero Chlorine necklace. I do indeed feel like Wonder Woman when I wear it. A starburst would only add to my super powers.

[jen]

Hope I'm not too late! I love it. Apart from mosquitos for us at this time of year twilight is gorgeous.

[o-girl]

Funny that this week's challenge is 'twilight'. I've been taking lots of twilight photos lately. I'm not into the book & movie 'Twilight', however. The necklace is beautiful :) I'd love to give one to my friend for her birthday, later this month. :) Here's a picture of twilight in my little corner of the world: http://im-up-for-the-challenge.blogspot.com/2008/12/twilight.html

[rachel]

It's my favorite time of day/night too...and of course I can't help thinking of the Weepies...

[Diane Schuller]

Andrea, I may be too late for the draw but I'd still like to comment. I love that starburst pendant so much. Here on our farm we are always very aware of the skies and the transitions from day to night. Interestingly, a photo I took at twilight last year is one that I am sending out in my Christmas cards this year:

(without the ugly copyright notice of course).

Good luck to whoever wins that beauty of a necklace.

I love this necklace! But I what I really would like to do it give it as a gift to a friend of mine. Please enter me in the drawing! :)

[ShannonH]

At times I am embarrassed about my interest in a vampire teen romance series. Twilight has always been my favorite time of day.

[Shelley]

I love it! Very nice work. Thanks for the chance, from one shutterbug to another!

[Alex]

That star is just perfect!

[Lauren]

I just wish twilight wasn't so hard to keep in focus :)

[Deb]

The dimming of the day... There is that point in the day when everything literally glows as we are caught between day and night. I make it a point to slow down and really enjoy it wherever I am.

[tiffany c.]

I love Mrs.Superhero and her dynamite necklaces!

[kristen]

as always, gorgeous:)

[Diane]

I love the picture, and the necklace is special. :)

[Heather P]

L-O-V-E the necklace! Here's my view of twilight from my backyard in Florida. Taken with my new Nikon D40...still getting used to it, but I love the colors here!
