SunSet USA

just thought i would put up a couple of pictures from my holiday.
My first post too, so let me know what you think.










Shot with a K10D and kit lens and a 10-17 Fish Eye

Hi Will, welcome!

I'm not a fan of fish eyes, but I do like the first one. And I love the third one. The second one doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid.
Where in the US were you?

yea its a bit of an acquired taste the fish eye shots but thanks for your comments

i went orlando and then these shots were from st petes beach. Great location

I also like the first and third pictures. In the first it's the vibrant yellows in the lower sky that draw my eye, in the third the muted oranges contrast well with the silhouette of the pelican (would have done well in the "alone" competition a week or so back). In the second shot I don't think the fisheye curves really do the building any favours, I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't look quite "right" to me.

Welcome to the forum btw!

yea the second shot doesnt seem to be going down so well. thanks for your input and time

Well, I rather like the second shot. The building looks interesting (some gin palace of an hotel, I presume) and the clouds are magnificent.

Nr 1 doesn't work for me, I am afraid. In nr 2 I love the sky , but would love to see the picture de-fished. Nr 3 should be straightened (horizon) and could use a bit of cropping just below the reflected sky on the wet sand. That would balance out the picture more IMO. Lovely colors though.

I like all three, good use of the fisheye in one and two (prefer one, but number two's an interesting shot, and like George says, fantastic sky). Number three would improve (in my eyes) by being leveled up, that ship's struggling uphill at the moment.

ahhh thanks for comments, i hadnt even noticed the horizon being off centre! ill give that a re try now!

Well, I like the second one best. The clouds seem to wrap you up and pull you into the picture.

2nd one for me too!
