Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Yere, I know it is another sunset, but I thought that it was a good looking sunset. This is taken from the "other" side of the lake in Canberra, looking towards sunset.

In light of the feedback I received last time, I thought it only fair to show you my next attempt:

Image

Shutter: 1/1600
Aperture: 7.1
ISO Speed: 200
Lens: 55.0 - 200.0mm Sigma DC
Focal Length: 200.0mm

Canon EOS300D :D :D :D

Comments welcome!

I like the way the line of clouds parallels the line of the trees.

Hi BP,

I like the picture, it is one of several typical Canberra sunsets when clouds are around. I don't believe it is over saturated - we get these sunsets live here !

Cheers

Tristan. This is excellent.

This shot has everything right about it that was wrong in the sunset shot in your first post. You've got great clouds that are beautifully lit, nicely silhouetted trees on the horizon to give more visual interest and to top it off the image is well cropped. This one's a definite winner :wink:

Thanks guys,

Re: the comment of over saturation, this image has had very little PP applied, and is currently a good representation of the "way it was".

Would it be better to perhaps "expose" the image a bit less?

Thanks
Tristan
