Fire in the Sky

A couple of shots of last nghts sunset. I was hoping to stay a little longer until the sun dropped below the horizon, but I alas I had other duties to attend to and could not afford the waiting time.

Somw great sunset photos, the light obviously is awesome but the details you've captured are great.

I think #2 is the winner here. There is more detail in the ground and the great graduations as you move down the fram to the near black at the bottom really work, and the black cloud at the top acts as a nice counterweight, framing things nicely. I also think it has better cloud overall, the large black cloud in the first image dominates a bit too much for me and takes away from the amazing light. The second showcases and frames it brilliantly.

You certainly have a nice view to capture Geoff.
I like the light you have through these.

Love them both but wish that the black cloud from the #1 was in the second picture...

What a great view you have! I hope you have a permanent camera fixed into this view so you can do multiple exposures from the same position at different weather patterns. Then you can print them up into a book!

The black cloud in # 1 is in # 2, the dark band along the top of frame is the bottom of that same cloud!

The view is pretty spectacular, I live about 5 mins drive from the spot so visit frequently and have managed to capture a wide variety of differing weather making the scene look different everytime. My shot which was selcted as POTW recently in this post viewtopic.php?f=18&t=38140 was taken from the same vantage point as were the other two images in the same post.
