Meshwork · Jun 29, 2006

Here's mine. Well, perhaps not my best, but one that I'm personally quite fond of.

Do you have any to post?

did you wait out the sunset until almost dark? I find that clouds like this tend to catch fire about 15-20 minutes after the sun actually dips below the horizon - but only for a couple of minutes.

This is an example of what I mentioned above. This was about 20 minutes after the sun dropped below the horizon.

Awesome shot, Jerry.

Mine would have been taken well before you took yours I think. In fact I'm sure I used quite a fast shutter speed.

My shot was taken in a yacht car park, next to a wharf.

and the lead-in makes it even more interesting.

Did you have to use a tripod?

Thanks

I used a tripod and I think I had to use one. But I need to look up the EXIF data at home to be sure.

Interesting thread... Probably sunsets are one of my favourite subjects... So I have so many sunset pictures that is difficult to choose between one of them...

But is easier to choose between sunrises... Doesn't happen very often I wake up so early... LoL
This is my best sunrise (hope you don't mind it's not a sunset...)

I have my favourites then I have the ones that seem to sell well:
All taken with my F828

(sorry about the watermarks

I was too lazy to re-upload :-D)

Everyone always likes this one beacuse of the colours:

This one is totally different but people like the wave:

This one and there neaxt one were from one of the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen , and ever photographed, the colours and clouds were awesome (these are both stitched with 3 or 4 photos, I have a 60inch canvas of teh last one hanging on my wall

)

Not the one in Arches NP but the one near Escalante.

This is a favorite of mine, although it's a sunrise, not a sunset. Taken last fall with my 717 on Lake Superior.

A picture is worth a thousand words, at least....

zackiedawg · Jun 29, 2006

Several I like alot (sorry, I'm lazy too, and didn't re-upload these to my better photo host, so they do suffer compression artifacts):

Everglades is my primary sunset location...since that's what's immediately to my west!:

But I have seen a few awesome Caribbean sunsets while on cruises (debatable whether I captured them well though!):

I thought this one was unusual...not the usual reds, oranges, and yellows...instead, blacks and blues dominate...but it had an odd grandeur to witness:

And this was one of the stranger ones I've ever seen, over Disney's EPCOT center:
