Decided to break the USA road trip set for now as it's been killing me to post this pic I took last weekend.

Driving back to London from one of my best UK getaway locations: Broadway in the Cotswolds and we noticed how the sunset was just exploding into colours, clouds and just the best darn light behind us. So after a near fatal collision by a car 20x bigger than our little bug I managed to screech to halt on this ascent overlooking the Broadway region.

Everything was perfect, sheep, light, sunset..the vale of mist in the distance..I could've stayed for hours shooting well into the darkness but alas..a 2 hour drive awaited us in London..we should spent the night..once again I overlook my better half's judgment...

Silhouette and Sunset

I have tried to develop a very particular style in shooting the silhoutettes!

This has a great composition and allows imporrtance to be given to the silhouetted cyclist. The wonderful colours and framing add the extra polish!

Sunset Colors - II

Sunset of September in Lancaster, PA
Even though there are plenty of sunset photos on the website, each sunset has it's own charm and colors... I never get tired of watching sunsets.

yet another sunset?

Today we had a great sunset, with interesting clouds, but the photos of it just look like yet another sunset, so I decided to see what photoshop could do to it. I slightly increased contrast, reduced brightness, then used unsharp mask in a way that I'm sure wasn't intended, pushing it away from realism. I then used NeatImage to smooth out the noise. End product - abstract sunset?

Sunset Master at work

Jeppe is a TE and TL (Jep) friend. He is one of the TE photographers whom I respect the most for his sunset shots. His landscape shots of his country are also spectacular. Before I flew to Copenhagen, I emailed him and I was very glad he was available to meet up with me despite our tour's tight itinerary. We met up in Frederikshavn and he reserved me a front seat in his car (where he drove some kilometers along with his family) to treat me out for dinner at the northernmost part of Denmark, Skagen.

We waited for the sunset which came at around 10 pm. It was awesome to see Jeppe at work. I did learn a lot from him. He drove me back to my hotel at around 11 pm. It was a short meeting but a priceless one. To Jeppe and his family, thank you so much.

P.S. I learned from Jeppe that that day was the only sunset experienced by Denmark for quite sometime. We were indeed lucky.

BTW, I also posted another shot of Jeppe at work in TE today. AND, please look at the workshop for a close-up shot of the master at work.

Sunset #14784

Taken about 50 metres back from my last sunset at the same time. I was trying out my new lens at the wide setting.

My favourite feature in this photo is the cloud formation.

I made a few adjustment layers for the ground and sky in this one, to try to get the balance right. To finish I did a gradient fill layer and set it to overlay mode, then masked off the ground, just to get the deeper blue colour from the sky.

Here in NZ the sunlight is very strong right until sunset. I've seen sunsets in other parts of the world where you can look straight at the sun without blinding yourself. Not here! I guess it's because we are relatively pollution-free, being so far from anywhere.

This poses something of a challenge for photography. The trick is to underexpose then "rescue" it in photoshop.

Mono Sunset

Mono Lake Sunset. This is one time I learned that for a sunset, don't leave right after the sunset - wait! The colors just kept changing and getting better and better as I waited. I had originally started to pack up and leave, then ended up running back for more photos. Scanned with a minolta film scanner, then sharpened in PS
