Ash Sunset

I was playing around with the K10D + Sigma 105 on a new mini tripod that arrived this week and decided to take the sunset out of the study window.

I am not sure if the Icelandic ash has made any difference

Very nice! However, I would crop out the vast orange space - this draws the eye up and leaves it with nowhere to go. I think a 16:9 type crop with the sun/sky in the top third is more powerful?

It was a remarkably clear day today, the absence of con trails and the clouds they form has been very noticeable. Nice colour, I saw something similar through the office window, but unfortunately I was working so missed the sunset.

The sun looks as if it has a tripod all of its own Hyram. Great colours.

Did you take this trhough an open window or through glass? There seems to be something going on in the shadow areas, especially to the left. Not sure if that may have been some reflection?

I agree with Gareth (of Cardiff fame) colours are great, especially through the tree branches.

It was taken through an open window but I agree that there is something odd going on in the shadows particularly on the left. It is not really visible in the original but became more obvious when I lightened the shadows a bit

Hyram, This a pleasant sunset notwithstanding, and given what was happening when you took it, might be a special shot.

I loved the orange sky Hyram. Even thought if one were framing it one crop some from the top....but just to show what your eye was seeing as you looked out the window...I say WOW!!

I have something else I wanted to sak you...and I see that I am unable to post a picture in your PM...

I am kind of interruping here...but I was wondering if you would take a look at this ad for me and share your thoughts. The seller did not give any detailed information. All he wrote was Pentax p5 for sell asking $100 candian dollars..everything in picture included in price.








Thanks for your help Hyram
