Sunset Fishing...

Last night I decided it was time to capture a sunset. I took Teddy and we rode out to the lakefront park in Kenner. I was amazed by the number of like minded people. We all grabbed a space, sat, chatted and waited hoping for a wonderful sunset. We were not disappointed, we all ooohed and ahhhed and then all you could hear was the lapping of the water and the snap of the shutters!

Thanks for stopping by...I hope you enjoy the sunset too!

Sunset Harmony

Was waiting for the birds to come home when this sunset taken. The rain just fallin so its rather misty. I think that's why I got that sun in round. After waiting sometimes, I decided to go back to hotel but after taken the sunset with the tree as the poi.
Hope you like this.

sunset in Tallinn

Was driving the Pirita drive in Tallinn and saw the big sun in a mirror and just couldn't resist to stop to take a few photos of this beautiful sunset.
Actually, I took about 10 photos trying to get only city and sunset in the photo and this one was the only pic with some other elements, including laterns and snow, but it turned out that this one with that blue (rather than white as it was originally) snow contrasting to sunset colours was the best one of all shots.

Probably a horizon is not perfectly straight but I still like it. :)
The only PP work: changed image size and applied auto contrast. That's it.

The benefit

...of taking Dingo for a walk every day, is that sometimes the view is really lovely. If you know me a bit, you'll know that I can't resist a sunrise or sunset. I thought last week the sunset was quite spectacular - for my town, that is.

I like this particular shot as it combines two things that really fascinate me : the sunset and the silhouettes of trees.

Set white balance mode to shade as that setting generally renders a warmer sunset. No changes/enhancements to the colour in PP.

Cropped a little bit.

Downsized for TL as per usual - see previous posts.

Added Frank's framing.

Hypermarket Sunset Reloaded

This is in front of an important hypermarket on the Ploiesti-Brasov highway, at 6 km from Ploiesti.
Well, you will say, what is so interesting about a hypermarket ? The interesting things are the nice sunset colours, the highway seen at the horizon, the light reflected in cars and those high street-lamps.
The fact is that I liked the place and the moment and I found it worth photographing.
For me, a sunset is always something magical...even one in front of the hypermarket.

I for incredible sunset

This is Incredible Sunset, the sunset that inspired the logo of The Incredibles (pun intended).

I was aboard Superferry on the way to Iloilo, we were passing Basilan and the sunset was awesome as you have already seen in my previous posts

That night, I reviewed all my sunset photos and I was surprised to see that the setting sun and the streak of its reflection on the ocean illustrated letter "i".

Can you see it? Or maybe you can see an inverted exclamation mark? What's the difference?

Sunset

I took this phot recently in Mt Barker whilst out with a girlfriend. The sunset was rather spectacular so we hung around to take lots of photos whilst freezing to death!! For some reason I have had trouble with the sizing with this one, can't get the file very large at all which is very frustrating! Must be gremlins in the computer I think! LOL! Anyway, hope you like it! This is the colour the sunset was too!

Bit of info about sunsets:
The sunset is often more brightly coloured than the sunrise, with the shades of red and orange being more vibrant. The atmosphere responds in a number of ways to exposure to the Sun during daylight hours. In particular, there tends to be more dust in the lower atmosphere at the end of the day than at the beginning. During the day, the Sun heats the surface of the Earth, lowering the relative humidity and increasing wind speed and turbulence, which serves to lift dust into the air. However, differences between sunrise and sunset may in some cases depend more on the geographical particulars of the location from which they are viewed. For example, on a west-facing coastline, sunset occurs over water while sunrise occurs over land.
