| When I first started shooting sunsets and landscapes I would have done something like this. The picture is about the sunset and nothing else. It's also saturated to the edge of insanity. Don't worry. These are common ways to start. We've all done it. The next step is to shoot the picture so it is about something else WITH a great sunset, even if that something is a small, but interesting foreground object. Finally, you'll find out that the best sunsets are the ones with interesting clouds. You can't control this, of course, but you'll start to recognize beforehand whether there is promise in the evening's show. |

Well Caree your photos are just getting better and better!
As a fellow student of the Sub-Club I'm probably not the best to help but just a thought on how this shot could have been better (IMHO)would be to use a tripod (if taken by hand) and set the aperture to at least 20. This will increase the exposure time but would achieve better focus on the background and soften the water in the foreground. Maybe even lower the exposure time recomended by the camera to reduce the brightness of the sky. You will loose some detail of the water and probably the image of the boat but I don't feel the boat is important to the photo composition. Just go out and shoot this again with these suggestions - easy hey! ;-) |
