No post processing, cropping, etc.
Camera: Canon Digital Rebel XT w/75-300mm 4-5.6 lens. I set the camera on the wooden railing of the Seal Beach pier to keep it as stable as i could. Too much wind for my crappy tripod which has a stripped fastener. I ordered this one yesterday... is it another POS or will it serve its purpose? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...goryNavigation Shooting mode: Program AE Shutter Speed: 1/200 Aperture Value: 5.6 Exposure Compensation: 0 ISO Speed: 200 Focal Length: 105.0mm White Balance: Auto ![]() I've got a bunch of cool shots like this. I took about 50 shots over a period of about 45 minutes starting before the sun setting till just after dark. |

Nice shot.
I think that the top and bottom elements don't add much, and cropping leaves a nice panoramic feel to the shot. I would also clone out the distracting mast on the horizon. Apart from that a contrast boost to make the boat appear more in silhouette and a slight saturation boost too to really emphasise the sky. Bit of sharpening too. I think it's a winner. Definitely worth a print. |

Im not a fan of the new crop peri, too much off the bottom I think. It takes away the sense that its water, along with totally blackening the water with the contrast boost.
This is a real nice shot you have andrew. |

Beautiful colours but lacking a subject for me, If the only 'point/subject' of the photo is the sunset then for me it needs to be an outstanding sunset to me this seems like a "nice" sunset.
Looking at it again now I think it may be down to the clouds? no real shape or substanc to them. |

As for boring clouds... welcome to southern california. And to be honest, most of that is smog.... not actual clouds.

I really like the colours you've got in no. 2 of the second post. I'd crop off those balconies to the left, though, and just leave the pier in. Maybe also get rid of that figure I can just make out and sharpen it up a bit.
Great shot, though. |

Hmm.... IIRC i shot almost all my photos that night at ISO200.
.... i just checked the RAW images and the birds were shot at ISO200. Some of the others were done at 400. Only a couple of the very early shots were done at 100. |
