Hi all!!

Just finished PP this older image, to remove two street lights on the horizon. Apart from a slight sharpen of the tree line and crop, no other PP was done.

A simple sunset in which I was trying to enhance, the contrast of the tree line with the setting sun.
I delibratley under-exposed the foreground, as there are numerous houses in the valley.

I continued the shots till the sun dipped behind the trees, yet this version with the sun still up seemed to work best.


Thanks for looking.

Comments and critique as always welcomed. :)

Mitchell,

Very nicely framed. Focus on the treeline looks spot on.

Thanks David, the "warm colours" were something I was hoping to capture. :)


Thanks mate!! I was trying to apply the 1/3 rule, I really need to take some photography coarses though.
When I took this photo, I had only just discovered you can AM focus on an object, then keep the trigger half depressed and move to a different object, still keeping the focus on the first being the tree line.



It does have a "Nuke" look to it. :) Thanks for your comment!!
