Sunset landscape

Really doesn't qualify as a landscape, but what the hell...

This one is made from a moving car, through the front glass, with Sony a7+28-70 kit lens, at 28mm, f/4, ISO 3200, 1/160 sec.

It's a pretty picture, and a good job capturing it through the windshield...especially if you were at the wheel! However, the halo along the edge of the building, and the fact that the sky is so dark relative to the backlit cityscape, is kind of artificial looking for my taste.
Thanks. Luckily I was not behind the wheel, that's why I am still alive ;D my-bro-in-law was driving. The reason you see the halo and the dark sky relative to the cityscape is due to the car's windshield had a very dark portion at the top of the glass.

It's a vertical halo running along the edge of the tall building.
I see what you mean ... its user error (more like laziness) in PP :) ... I spilled over on to the sky while brushing out the shadows in LR :-[

It's ok, you're welcome to nitpick the heck out of my next photo submission!

To all,

Here's an image I took near sunset on Emigrant Hill, east of Pendleton, Oregon. I noticed the Sundogs while taking the images, but did not see the Sun halo until after processing. Fog and low cloud had already enveloped much of the foothills. This is an HDR image combining four separate images. Hopefully, it doesn't look too unnatural. :)

Thanks for looking,

Wade

Nice job! I see the sun dogs but not a sun halo...

I've never seen double sundogs on a setting sun before...this is very interesting!

Beautiful colors ... I did not know what a "Sundog" was, so I looked it up on wikipeda - now I remember, I had seen this in UK for the first time in 1999 (but the sky wasn't colorful like your image), I could look at the sun directly with my naked eyes but the blinding brightness was a bit further away, somewhat similar to this image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sun_dog_at_Stonehenge.jpg ... I had no idea that it was called the Sundog ... cool.

The Sun halo is almost hidden. You can see the inner darkening of the circle below the sun with only a hint of a "brighter" circle. It is definitely marginal.
