What a difference 30 minutes makes

The images below are from a sequence taken over a 30 minute period. The sunset was incredibly intense this day and so I've done nothing to the saturation in these - nature did my work for me. What amazes me here is the range of colours in such a short time - from golden glow right through to intese reds and blues.

It's a magic time of the day and even more so when the elements cooperate... which is not all that often.
Your post also demonstrates just how little time you have got to work with. Same deal of a morning

Good work on these Peter. Very dramatic images.
I particularly like the mirroring of the sky in the almost still water.
The only thing that bothers me is the black blob at the far end of the bridge Would have been nice to have had some individual pillons visible as you have on the near side of the bridge to break it up a bit.

Great landscapes. I prefer the second
ahead of the rest, but all of them are
very good.

Peter,

These are a really accurate representation of the scene in my opinion.

Love #3 as this is really quite rare to get these reds in a sunset or sunrise... (Maybe once a month or so....) I have only seen this red about 3 times this year. (In NC this seems to have happened about half a dozen times; especially on a Monday evening!)

Maybe you could make a diptych by flipping one of them... :wink:
