One of the many things I love about my DroidX is its awesome built-in camera app. It’s easy to use (just click!), has a number of scenes to choose from (like macro, steady, and night scenes), and it takes good pictures (as good as my Canon digital).

I’m getting into the habit of taking pictures more and more, too. (Of course, this commitment to post a picture every day hasn’t hurt any. ;) I try to keep it handy, and if I have the feeling good photo ops are coming up, I’ll open the app and hit sleep, so when I push the button, the camera is ready.

One day last week, we were stopped at the light at the corner of Witt Road and Highway 29, headed home after picking up the boys from our sitter, Susie’s, and — BAM! — there was this eye-blasting sunset behind the trees. I had just enough time to snap the picture before it calmed into a blur of still-beautiful color.

You can see the rosy spots on the picture. They make it seem like that flash of light was just too much for the camera.

It reminds me of really early Aretha Franklin recordings. She’s belting it out so big that the recording equipment just can’t contain it. Chills!
