Untitled

I have been told that it needs the sun to add a focal point and take the eye

away from the silohette of the shore. Agree or disagree let me know. Thank

You.

I think that the sun would just over take the shot.The shore line would be ruined.

I like this picture, it's one of those that sits nicely in a frame.

Impressive colors, very good composition.

i like the colors

I like it as it is.

I try to add sun to the sky, but I found it better without, and it does'nt match with the strong silouette, It is great as it is.

NOT ANOTHER SUNSET! OH!, SO CLICHE!

 

-Sorry... had to be a jackass for a second... It's wonderful! A really beautiful capture. Knocks mine out of the water!

Keep them coming!

From my recent reading about photographing sunsets/sunrises it depends on what you want in the shot. Sun or not is not the question. Just stay out long enough to get lots of shots and there was a lot of stuff about getting the exposure right, in all the stuff I read this morning. Or if digital, turn the white balance off. (I forget the reason for that). But there are numerous pages of advice on the web.

 

Each sunset/sunrise is an originall by Mother Nature. How we set up the shot makes a difference though. Again as far as silhouettes, etc, go, I think it all still boils down to your own preferences.

I really like how "bright" the colors are. Nice coloring. The tone is great!

Haaa i got the jones too John. This shot is good, the exposure is pretty good. One thing you sould do is use auto colour balance in PSP if you have it. Remove colour cast. Have done that (included). All it does is get rid of that false blast. Half the sunset pics are actually underexposed and when you do this it will remove most of the colour and show what you really have. I don't consider this a ps trick cause its making the pic truer to the actual slide. Sometimes on a perfect exposure it does nothing at all.

 

Being an addict myself i have learned "the best time to shoot a sunset is when theres no sun"...and looks like u learned that too. Unless a nd filter is used theres bigtime probs with mono colouring.....this a bit dark and contrast could go up maybe 15, personal taste and a matter of getting the adjustments down for posting.

 

Sunsets gotta be the most difficult thing to photo and of course the most stunning as far as light goes. If your like me u got 360 shots of this set lolol. Now i try to compose something in the foreground and use the set as a backdrop...this set seems glorious enough to not need that but it keeps the howllers at bay.

 

This looks like a west coast set, was surprized you are where u are...sun sets on the east coast too??? Looks just like vancouver island or washington coast. I found a really big dif between an F100 and F5 as far as metering goes. It didn't seem to handle these very well and even the F5 i don't trust it and always use M combined with spot, then take readings from bright and darkest in scene and try to arrive at a happy medium. I didn't do this when i had the F100 so that coulda been part of the prob. Havew read some stuff bashing its meter system as defective but had no prob ever in non sunset shots so dunno.

 

Anyhow its miles ahead of what any digital, even the d100 could do (please dont kill me)...they all fall apart on a scene like this and look flat.

B + 15...C + 28...with colour bal.

very beautiful sky...cla
