Second night in a row for fabulous sunsets! Needless to say I was out with the camera and took about 60 pictures at various camera settings.
So heres what worked best for capturing tonight's sunset: Exposure was set to -2.0, Picture control set to "Vivid" with the saturation cranked up as far as it will go. Once I got the picture home I did a bit of light sharpening and minor highlight recovery in Photoshop and "Voila" here it is!
It's a fabulous sunsets, and picture! To save time, you might have to invest in a GND filter. If you decided to get one, go with a B&W brand or Lee filter.
ReplyDeleteThank you Q, good information! Next investment is filters now that all my lenses are 77mm (Sigma 10-20, Nikon 18-300, Sigma 120-400).
DeleteTop shot.
ReplyDeleteI like this shot a lot. I really like the silhouettes of the trees and you got a great reflection off the water.
ReplyDeleteGreat reflection. I really like the silhouettes, a wall hanger in my book.
ReplyDeleteThe water was so still that I had to bounce on the dock just to get a bit of a ripple happening for the reflection... Otherwise it didn't look right! Ha ha
ReplyDeleteExtremely well shot and processed. A magnificent Sunset!
ReplyDeleteI do believe you have the right recipe figured out!
