night

Mexico, the Pacific Coast. The sun had already gone down and it was dark, when all of the sudden the sky line turned bright red for just a minute or so. An amazing sight - my photo barely does it justice, unfortunately.

thank you for looking :)

Hello Baerbel, I keep seeing super sunsets and also try and capure them. I would suggest you try the following to get a bit more light in the picture.

1. Increase the ISO to 800

2. Take a centered or spot light measurement from the sky.

3. Try under exsposing by 1

4. Review the pics and change the settings.

The picture would be really super if it was a bit lighter. The red colours are really intensive.

Regards Carl

Carl, thank you so much for your comment and helpful suggestions. They certainly will come in handy the next time I see a fabulous night sky. Barb :)

Normally, I am underwhelmed by a dark sunset, but you got the colors just right for me in this image. In fact if it were lightened up, I think the mystery and ambience would be lost. This is an excellent photo. Also a very nice presentation too. Nice job. 7/7

Thank you, William. I am very glad you like it! Barb :)
