Sunsets Golden

I took this on the Rhigos mountain, South Wales, from the back of my mam’s car on the way home from a family holiday.

Taken with a mobile phone camera (!) (5 megapixels…i think). I cropped the image so that it had a natural frame with centred sunset, then enriched the colours using the warming functions of Picasa.

Used as the group Avatar for Wales, Rich in Beauty!

    Or a foggy one!!! I was driving over this mountain about 2 years ago with my cousin and the fog was down really heavy- and we swear we saw a ghost!!! I guess it was just the fog though!!

    I made the silly mistake of taking part in a charity cycle race over the Rhigos – with tea and chips promised in Treorchy that didn’t materialise.
    It didn’t look like this on that day – this is something else

    This photo was previously admitted to the group Photography 101. I like it alot,however, the group guidelines ask for an explanation in your description about the photography aspects of the work. Can you please give more detail about your camera, lens, settings, what photography techniques you used, etc? I’ll check back again later to see if it meets guidelines, but if not, I will have ot remove it. Please remember its not a personal thing, but we would liek this group to be a learning group for others. You can resubmit it at any time with the forementioned changes! Thank you!

    Thanks Taylor I’ll add some info now…sorry i’m a member of so many group i often forgot what the group actually is, not to mention the rules! :)

    OMGosh, this was taken with a phone????? What an amazing shot! Well done, drjones! ;-)

  • drjones replied

    Thanks Taylor! Most of the images i like best are taken with a phone…i think it’s because i spent most time on them to make them better. The ones taken with DSLR are usually unloved by myself…shame really!
