Photo Series - Bold Natural Skies
A Few Select Photos of Glorious Skies, Clouds, and Sunsets
Hi! My name is Jackie Barrows, and I am a freelance photographer and graphic designer native to Columbia, MO. I thought I'd showcase a quick series of sky and cloud-themed photos I have taken over the last couple of years. I hope you enjoy! Please like. Thank you!
Aruba Wedding - Sunset After the Ceremony
Look at that sky... I want to go back!
This photo was taken April 2017, the day of my brother and sister-in-law's wedding on Eagle Beach in Aruba. After the ceremony had taken place, the sky turned into a gorgeous sunset and I couldn't help but take a photo! This photo was taken via iPhone 5s and edited in Photoshop.
The Atlantic at Sunset
*Sigh* I love sunsets on the water!
This photo was taken the day before the wedding in Aruba while aboard the Jolly Pirate Ship. It doesn't get better than pink sunsets on gentle waves. This photo was taken via iPhone 5s and edited in Photoshop.
Dirt Mound Beneath a Clear Blue Sky
A little different, yes, but it evokes a feeling of being small yet free.
This photo was my own take on other photos of similar concepts. I wanted to do something somewhat avant garde, and this is what I came up with. It looks so peaceful, but it's actually part of a loud construction site across the street from my house. This photo was taken via Canon T3i DSLR camera using an 18-55mm zoom lens with wide angle adapter, and edited in Photoshop.
Lovely Purples and Blues After a Rainstorm :)
This photo was taken after a shift at an old job three years ago. It was after a rainstorm that had some high winds and loud thunder, but finished with a grand sunset with fantastic use of color. This was shot on iPhone 5s and edited in Photoshop.
Purple Skies in the Fall
This is one I will paint—eventually!
This photo was taken circa fall 2016 in Jefferson City, MO. The West side of Jefferson City has the best sunsets. Many photos were taken of this sunset, as it provided some glorious shots. This was taken on iPhone 5s and edited in Photoshop.
Purple Skies of Fall II
Many Golden Opportunities!
This is another photo of the above sunset on the West Side of Jeff City. Again, the gorgeous blues, pinks, purples, and yellows made for a fantastic shot, and I just had to capture it! This was also shot via iPhone 5s and edited in Photoshop.
Well, I hope these sunsets gave you a bit of inspiration today, as well as help you unwind from your perhaps hectic day. If you liked what you saw, please share this post with everyone you know. If you really liked it, please tip this post! Every little bit helps! Thank you.

What To Do About a Broken Spirit:
Have you ever had one of those days or nights where everything comes to a head out of the blue? Like a machine that is old and decrepit, with smoke pouring out of it and gears popping and scattering across the ground, some of your daily habits you know you should have gotten rid of or fixed long ago cause your world to crumble. Now everything looks like ruins, and you sit there, trying to process how to begin picking up the pieces to make things right again.

Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.

Miniature Mind Musings #8:
Recently, I spoke with a family member who I struggled to catch up with for a longer timespan than I would’ve liked and what struck me was how societal templates filled in on successive days routinely suck our time into a vacuum of seemingly infernal deficiency.
