Title: Sunset
Post by: Russell on August 29, 2006, 20:20:48 PM
Just noticed a sunset out of the front window of my house, Id missed most of it which was a shame but still managed to have a quick play.  Im going to try and see if I can get it from a bit earlier tommorrow.  Found out something I never knew before, that structure just where the sun is setting through is St James Park, didnt realise it was straight outside that window, just a shame I aint any higher up.

Taken with a Nikon D50, 24-120mm Lense @ 120mm, F20 & 1/60th.

If anyones got some hints feel free.  The only thing I could think of doing to it is cropping it somewhat as theres a lot of black at the bottom of the image.

yea id crob not  just for the amount og black but for the 50-50 devide between light and dark to even a split seems to stop the eye resting

I did a quick chop of them both have a diferent feel to each other due to the
croped

Thanks Alien8, I quite like the first one, cause theyre aint a lot of black your eyes are drawn towards the light on the clouds and the sunset itself.

I had a look tonight but sods law it was clouded over, so Ill just have to try and keep an eye out in future.  Id try for dawn but thats perhaps a tad too early.
