Thank you Hilary. It was so exciting for me with a new camera and all this beauty to capture. I enjoyed every minute of it and I’m glad you like the result. The colours are just as they were.

great shot em i love the silhouettes and colour

emmmee in reply to Michael Oubridge’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks so much Michael. I didn’t know the sandbar was there, so it was all very special to have the birds congregate there at sunset.

Thank you Prasad. I’m pleased you like it. I loved the sunset and took about 50 shots of the changes in colour and cloud formation and the coming and going of the pelicans. em

Your camera is serving you well – beautiful image!

Col Finnie, 2 months ago

Hooley dooley e., that looks like it was a tricky one to get right. Did a great job. Did the camera do all that or did you have to tweak settings?

georgieboy98, 2 months ago

The camera has done a great job here, for sure, but in the final analysis it is all down to the photographer and you have absolutely hit the bull’s eye with this one. Top marks ma’am!! Peter

Thanks Sean. It was a great experience.

emmmee in reply to lallymac’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks so much. I loved being there. Still learning about the new camera – Sony alfa 350 w/ 18-200mm Tameron lens Love it!

emmmee in reply to Col Finnie’s comment, 2 months ago

Hi Col! I have to tell you, the sunset was just that! Easy work, since all I did was aim and shoot. No tweaking! Birds came, light changed and I took about 50 shots. It was thrilling. Have never seen a sunset like it. The lake and birds added to the wonder. Thanks for your comment! em

emmmee in reply to georgieboy98’s comment, 2 months ago

Oh, you’re gorgeous! But thank you. I just took the photo. Everything was there, colour and all. It was an amazing display. Still learning about the camera. Must take some RAW soon and ‘fiddle’.

emmmee in reply to peggywright’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks Peggy. The changing colours were amazing. They were just there! em

Col Finnie, 2 months ago

Bloody hell e., good call on that camera. Methinks it’s a very impressive bit of exposure nutting out done in that shot.

emmmee in reply to Col Finnie’s comment, 2 months ago

Hi Col – did I tell you it’s a Sony alfa350 with an 18-200mm Tamron lens? I’m still learning to handle it, so pretty well work on auto & jpegs. Will do all the ‘fancy stuff’ soon, I hope! Big learning curve; not really good at technical stuff, much to L’s & Brain’s chagrin! They’re very patient with me.Camera’s my son’s recommendation. em

Thank you Michelle. I’ve just joined the group. Hopefully can submit this one to your group. Have others, but am taking time out for another month or so on a ‘bigger-than-I-thought’ project. Thanks again, em
