Awesome amazing photos my friend, I've said it before if that whole computer cure thing doesn't pan out for you you've got another career.

I'd love a hi res version of those two. Christmas is coming...

It's actually ones and zeroes, but yes, those are often the colors of the sky where I live.

Thanks Glatt, The bike one is from a series of about 100 shots done in the half hour before it got too dark to see and the inch was on his new bike for the first time.

Right...I see some pretty great sunsets here, but I don't know if they appear that vivd, on camera (and this is viewing second hand on an off-the-shelf HP monitor). Is it a really good camera? I shall have to join the sunset snappers group.

footfootfoot 12-16-2010 01:48 PM
It's a Canon 710 IS. They don't make it anymore, I think the latest has 12mp instead of 7. I really like Canon's products.

The trick to a good sunset picture for many cameras is to underexpose it a little bit. Sometimes the cameras think they are smarter than you, trying to lighten the picture, but they're wrong.

footfootfoot 12-16-2010 02:07 PM
Oh yes. I Always shoot on manual and judge by the screen or histogram

The times I spent camping in the southwest, the sunsets seemed more pastel, than they do further north.

I think that has to do with super fine dust particles in the atmosphere, I read something about how smog and other shit contributes the the colors of the sunsets.

Here's a sunset from the coast of North West Island which is a coral atol about 50 miles off the east coast of Oz.

Saw this view as I was walking out of the Kohls in Tucson last night. My camera phone doesn't really do it justice though.

This one that I'm opening this thread with was taken yesterday. Unfortunately I only had my phone with me, so that's what it's taken with. I was on my way home and there was a fair bit of storm activity about and it created this (what in real life was a) magnificent and eerie shot. To me it looked more like the begining of an alien invasion than a sunset, but maybe that's just my imagination.

Anyway, here it is in all its slightly blurry and nowhere near complimentary glory.

I also think so.

I love shooting sunsets and you never know when you will be in the right place at the right time. I took this while just hanging out one of my son and laws family at their cottage on Lake Ontario. I shot it with my Canon 100-400 racked full out and with a 1.4 tele extender and it's hand held but I was at least sitting in a lawn chair using my arms with elbows braced on the chair's arm pieces, sort of a home made bipod. Pretty cool that it worked out as it is tack sharp.

I like the fishing boat rushing to get back to Sotus bay before dark.

Excellent.

ZenGum 02-28-2013 01:17 AM
The trick of a good sunset-over-the-water shot is that you need a bunch of other stuff to look at. Really, you need a photo that would be a good photo even without the sunset. Like that one.

glatt 02-28-2013 08:27 AM
Too true. At a minimum, you need a couple trees in there. But a lighthouse and some boats is even better.

Here's a link to 27 Beautiful Sunset Pictures, and I'd stack up chrisinhouston's picture against any or all of them.

Thanks xoxoxoBruce!

As always it is about being in the right place at the right time! And it helps to have a decent camera and a longer lens that will accentuate and increase the size of the sun. I think a tripod is also a must as you can shoot at a lower ISO without worrying about blurs from a shaky camera.

Here is one from my Aruba trip a few years ago. Needless to say I have many more from this series but I like the juxtaposition of the sun behind the wind surfer.

Short story behind this one...My partner and I met in a chat room on MSN 11 years ago. He flew to Florida to meet me on Valentines Day, 2003. I took him out to dinner to a nice restaurant on the beach. Fast forward 10 years and I took him back to that same restaurant for our 10 year anniversary. This photo was taken there. After dinner, we went for a walk along the boardwalk where he dropped to one knee and proposed. I said yes.

Then came the happily ever after, right? ;)

BigV 03-04-2013 02:06 PM
I know "congratulations" is ... tacky or has some other negative vibe to it, but what the heck. Congratulations, and I hope you have many happy years to come!

I saw the strangest sunset the other evening on my way home. Here are a couple shots of it, taken a couple minutes apart. The Close Encounters column appears to be emanating from a peak in the Olympics called The Brothers.

Good find! Your trip into the archives produced a post from before my time. Apparently before the use of "years" in dates. Waaaay back in the day. :)

Gravdigr 06-27-2017 05:00 PM
I did.:D

ETA: Although post #111 is the old camera.

Gravdigr 06-27-2017 05:04 PM
Canon EOS Rebel T6 Premium Kit from Best Buy was too cheap to pass up. Spur of the moment birthday gift for m'self. I hope it turns out better than the microwave.

It's got the 18-55 EF-S, and the 75-300 EF lenses. The 75-300 is faster on the auto focus than the smaller lens. It's surprisingly fast.

Yes, trying to find something with Google gets frustrating when they find it but no year to go back in the archives with. But the post UT linked has the paypal donation link, if someone feels so inclined. :lol:

Very cool how the sun is captured there. Reminds me of Africa. Not that I've been. Just looks like there might be a lion creeping up on you.

lumberjim 06-30-2017 12:40 AM
Ok, why does digrs post include the pic in my quote, and classics doesn't?
