I learned on cruises that you always wait 15-30 minutes after the sun goes under the horizon before walking away. Most people would show up for 'that moment' and miss the real show. Only actual photographers would remain that long (and there were never many of those people)

She and a couple of friends rented a house down by the yacht harbor for a couple of days. Last night, I was down there noticed that it was a nice sunset and walked across the street so I could get some photos of the yacht harbor without telephone wires in the frame. I took a variety of shots, walked back to the house and noticed that just as I got back to the house, the colors were peaking. I went back down to the harbor, but by the time I got there, the best of the color had faded. In the future, when I'm photographing a sunset, I'll try to remember to wait until after I see the color fading before I give up and quit shooting. This one was from after I went back down, I had to shoot a lot tighter so that I wouldn't get the ugly bits of the sky in the frame. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/9346186775/ I did bracket my shots, and should probably try HDR on some of them. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
