After the sunset

After the sunset

This shot was taken the same place and day as I still remember and it was one of the most colorful sunsets I remember. Light was changing very fast and the red hue you can see in the clouds lasted a minute or two if I remember well!

Taken with Canon 40D, Tokina 12-24mm @ 12mm f/18 ISO 100 and a polarizer. Manual focus and manual exposure, white balance was set to daylight for waremr tones.

This is a combination of 3 shots exposed respectively for the sky, sea and rocks and merged manually in Photoshop CS3 to mimic the effect of a ND Grad filter. The purpose of this method is not to give to the picture an “unatural” HDR look but just to save on the cost of ND Grad filters
