Sinking Sun
This was another shot from the other day at Sunset. I really wanted to bring out the amazing colors of the sunset and shooting directly at the sun was hard to get a good exposure especially with the standard canon kit lens I was getting a fair bit of lens flare (Cant wait till I my Sigma 10 -20 mm lens). So I bracketed 3 different exposures all 2 stops apart. I used a cokin ND grad filter to try to keep some of the color in the fore ground.
I really liked the contrasting colors in this shot and the tree made a nice Silhouette
I then used Photomatrix pro to convert the 3 images into a HDR . Final curves and sat were done in PhotoShop.

Splendid! I am not a ‘photographer’ so all that talk of filters and HDR etc doesnt mean much to me but I do appreciate the work that has gone into producing this image! You are very talented and have done an excellent job on this! Love the contrasts and the silhoutte of the tree..When I look at it..my first inclination was the tree was burnt in a forest fire and the wind was blowing through it and creating the darker clouds that you see near the branches..like ash been blown off the branches..love it!

Wow, excellent sunset. Sunsets are so common it’s hard to find one that stands out, and this one certainly elevates the subject.
