Sunset

[Buttkicker]

Driving home last night the sunset was pretty spectacular - one of the best I have seen for long time, sadly I had no time to go find a suitable location so this area was the best I could do

anyway had my camera with me but 24mm Lens was not wide enough on a 1.6 crop body so took about 20 shots in raw and stitched two together

no saturation applied here slightly lightened with curves
I think you will agree that a beautiful sunset

must get 12mm lens soon

cheers Chris

maybe its still because I have alcohol in my system but that is one of the most amazing photographs I have ever seen.

[RobertP]

Spectacular sky

Just wondering what a more normal crop would look like with more of the top showing. Got any more to stitch together ?

[Buttkicker]

cheers guys
it was really one of the best sunsets with the moody clouds etc and I started a bit of a rush with all sorts of people appearing with digital cameras

I adore seeing skys like this and for once had my camera with me
Robert I took about 20 shots and do have more and played around for a while but I was happiest with the one I posted, but I know what you mean

ideally an ultra wide was the tool needed but sadly 24mm on the day was all I had, but still pretty happy with the result
thanks for the comments
