Sunset landscape

EOS 7D, 18-135mm

Very compelling, Ken! 8)

Thank you Sir! Unfortunately, I had no filters with me on that trip either! Ended up there quite by accident but glad I got to go! Exposed for the sky and brought out the shadows and the exposure in the rock in post with LR...

Most of these are nice, but I wonder how much blacks clipping does it show as you edit them? Just curious. I usually try to recover more blacks than this, but overall these are successful images in my opinion, not that it counts for much!

An oldie, one of my favourite locations, done the 'wrong way' on a TS-E, the 24mk1, The body is an EOS 3 and the film would have been velvia, the new 50.

Portachur Point view to Arran.

Thanks guys.

The sun was so strong the image naturally silhouettes. Leaving it there to me was the only way to edit the images. Recovering more would lead to a less dramatic image

Technically maybe not perfect but artistic licence sometimes over rights the technical.

I didn't necessarily disagree, just wondered how much clipping did it show on the RGB curve. I assume you use Lightroom or PS?

Beautiful!

What is the red spot toward the bottom left, in the water?

Thanks Krob78. The red spot is flare from the lens. It could be deemed a distraction, and I could remove it, but I tend to do little to my images in PP other than a little tweaking with the contrast, saturation, NR and sharpening.

Yes, I thought as much. It's a lovely image. I'd remove it. It's almost like removing dust in this case, I don't think it brings anything to the image but as you mentioned, it's a bit distracting in this particular case...

Just my thought anyway, no offense I hope...

I appreciate the feedback. You have got me thinking now. I might have a go at removing it. I was in a bit of a rush when dealing with the images (I've just got back from a weeks holiday at Tasmania). Soooo many images to take, soooo little time

Okay, sunset take 2. I've removed the red flare. Thanks for the suggestion Krob78

My pleasure Nick, I think you made a good choice! Takes it to another level!

All the best,

[Sporgon]

Agree, the flare detracted from the image.

Nice one Mr Bean.

Tonight's sunset~

I took this one a while back. I rushed when I saw this gentlemen go by. I think it adds value to the image.

I prefer your second version... It's beautiful. Nicely done Mr Bean.

I agree with you Rowbear! Very nicely done and the boat/boater definitely adds to it and gives it a story... I like it a lot!

Good to see the lowly 7D's are still out there shining and excelling in areas that some say they aren't even made for... Very nice and welcome to the forum!

Btw, you seem to have a couple dust specs toward the top right in the sky field...

Thats outstanding Robert! What a beautiful image!

I really like both of your water sunset shots! Keep them coming...

Shot both of these recently, one with 24-105, the other with 70-200 f/4 (non IS). Both were hand-held, had the IS switched on with the 24-105. I'll be exhibiting 16x20 prints of these this week at a museum arts festival, along with a lot of other images of my work.
