Beautiful Brisbane Sunset.

[AlexN]

Well.. its full of clouds, so its not how I want the sky to look, however its a nice 2nd place prize..

Nikon D200.
Nikkor 12-24 @ F/8
ISO200, 1/20th.

Pretty much straight out of the camera...

Thanks for looking..
Alex.

Hey Alex,

Awesome images of the Sunset. It has been beautiful both yesterday and today.

I stayed up until 4am last night waiting for the clouds to clear. Might try again tonight. I'm very keen to get a look at Saturn.

Have fun,
Doug

I tell you what doug... I had a look at Saturn last week.. She's a very different beast this year... Flat rings and all... Still very beautiful...

thanks.

Wow! Those are great shots Alex. such vibrant colours!
Are you standing on the roof (ladder) for those? :lol:

Daniel, No mate, thats on the back veranda... We're up pretty high on a hill with a great view to the south south west..... Whilst this view seems great in photos like these, come night time, I can see the city buildings standing just above the horizon, and the associated skyglow is horrendous..

You win some you lose some I guess..

The colors were every bit as vibrant to the eyes as it is in the images.. The only thing I've done to them is a very mild shadows and highlight adjustment to get things even, corrected the barrel distortion from the ultrawide lens, and cropped them down a little... No adjustment to the colors or saturation at all... Straight out of the camera so to speak...

:) thanks.
Alex.

Beaut pics - thanks for posting Alex. Saw the beautiful sky glow lighting up the backyard, but didn't realise sky/sunset was so beautiful.

Top shots Alex.
It was the best sunset we've had in quite a while.
You can't get a sunset when you have 100% cloud coverage.:mad2:
