Sunsets

Last one from me today (and also an attempt to get away from the horsey theme).

A couple of gorgeous sunsets taken from our attic room windows from a few months back. Both use the tephoto 70-300 EF-S IS lens. The image stablisation is great on this lens, as these were taken at the long end of the range, ISO 400, with the shutter speed in the 1/15 - 1/20 range, hand-held.

I really love good sunsets, and these two have brilliant colour and - in the second image - great cloud structure too. I chose to keep the trees in there to provide a base and some anchor for the images, otherwise they become more abstract (certainly the first one would).

Bath Stormy Skies

Another from the same trip to Bath. This time, taken into the sun as rain clouds approached. Exposed for the highlights to get a silhouette effect. Levels adjusted and the silhouette effect enhanced then cropped for final effect.

Quite like this one - an unusual view of Bath.
