I haven’t been out taking many images recently, the office work took over for a while and a few events conspired against me. I managed to escape for a quick 15 minutes and even though I had missed some of the evening light, some images were still available. This is a pretty standard sunset image that doesn’t require much skill, just a few neutral density graduated filters to bring the exposure for the sky into the exposure range of the foreground. I tried to keep the filtration lighter than maybe I would usually choose as I feel that sometimes I over filter the sky even though the images look ok.
The above image was an attempt to give a sense of space and freedom. There was a great mix of colours to get in the image, but due to a malfunctioning cable release the bulb exposure was incorrect, which although the RAW processing software can correct it, produced some noise in the image. The horizon splits the image in half, which normally doesn’t work too well but I feel that it works ok here as both the top and bottom of the image is dark.
I was hoping to get some alternative angles of this scene, but a couple of dog walkers walked in front of my position leaving a great trail of foot prints. Time to go home anyway as it was getting too dark.
