Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

[D70FAN]

On a lighter vein... Tried to shoot the sunset from the dunes. Not a great sunset so this one was just for fun.
In fact the whole series was a bust (and it was getting a tad cold). I need a new place for sunsets...



Monterey Peninsula (Pacific Grove) sunset.

Dread,
Thats' a huge red there. Nice shot.

You don't know the half of it, after this shot he lifted his left leg and flashed us ... lets just say his gear stood out like dogs xxlls. I think my daughter is still blushing

A definate WOW from me as well K1W1. How about some Exif info. We always like to see and learn.

DPR... Sort of like the chimpanzees. You can get some rude life lessons from those guys.

It's a three shot HDR -1,0,+1 with the camera balanced on a wobbly fence post.
The exif is on the Flickr link if you follow it.

Many thanks. HDR makes sense. Definately a good one. Most of my limited library is on Smugmug, so I don't frequent Flickr, but now gives me a reason to go there from time-to-time.

D70Fan: What's with the colours of that sunse? Has it been enhanced?

K1W1: Your bike is back to front.

Here's the portrait of Ms. Hen. I hope it hasn't been posted before.

Well... yes. I spent some time shooting the sunset the other night, and while the shoot truned out ok, the sunset itself was pretty plain-Jane. i.e. big red ball decending over the horizon...blah-blah-blah. By accident, I asked NX2 to auto correct the light, and voila! blue and gold. A little surreal, but interesting (more so than the actual sunset). And it actually made a nice 8x10.

That is an excellent shot of Ms. Hen. The 70-300 works very well in your hands.
