The Sunset

Del Mar, CA

One of my intuitions (see yesterday) is that there are those who question my photographic skills since I fool around so much with Photoshop. So here is one straight out of the can with only cropping and sharpening.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon 50mm f/1.8
1/1600s f/10.0 at 50.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

what a wonderfully balanced shot, by means of compo and light!

That cloud is an Angel vanishing at sky after the photo!!

Robin Reid		04-Jul-2006 03:56
For those asking about the wispy cloud on the upper right, I assume it was a contrait from a rocket launch. Vandenberg AFB is up the road, and we frequently see things like this.

This is exquisite.

Nice one Robin... But what's with the white tornado?

Gayle P. Clement		04-Jul-2006 00:59
Beautiful, Robin. I love the silhouette and the cloud squiggle.

Coleen Perilloux Landry		04-Jul-2006 00:26
Very beautiful shot. You trained that seagull well.

Guest		03-Jul-2006 23:30
Wow! Great image, Robin. But...don't stop those wacky PS images. Love your sense of humor.

Awesome Image!

Outstanding image Robin. My eye goes from the sun to the people to the wisp of cloud then to the gull. Well done. GMV

Huge laughs at Mark VM

Very nice, Robin. Maybe if you moved the bird down 1/64inch and moved the two children to the left 1/128inch and cut and paste the cloud in the lower left corner and lower the sun 13/16 inch down the image would look nicer....:P Vote

Wonderful sunset

Beautiful sunset

Dang it! I looked for my "screw + um" photo but can't find it. If those individuals would look past the PS editing, they would see that there was a great photo to begin with. The ones that gripe are usually the ones that have no grasp on the PS program. Keep up the good, scratch that... GREAT image manipulating that you do.

Beautifully calm image

Richard Calmes		03-Jul-2006 11:40
Great shot! Is that a plane spiraling down? V

Ron S. Bernardo		03-Jul-2006 11:27
Perhaps your intuition is wrong ;o) I personally believe in your photographic abilities as other do, but please dont walk away from your P.S. works. I like the humor very much. Hmmm, that is a weird looking cloud? You sure no P.S. on this one? :-)

Ooo! Gorgeous shot!!! ~V~

Larry Ahern		03-Jul-2006 09:14
Wonderful shot!!

Good shot with a lot going on.

Gary Winters		03-Jul-2006 05:29
Good work, Robin. Good composition, good muted colors, the image says 'peace' in a good soft way.

Guest		03-Jul-2006 05:19
Great image Robin!!! What a sense of freedom in this image, is beautifulo sunset and excellent composition. Talking about photoshop skills, yes you manage PS great, and I think that you can do great images with the computer and when you get better photos from the camera, the better you can get with the computer, so that, my friend, you are a master with the camera and with PS My vote for this photo!!

Pepe Zyman		03-Jul-2006 05:15
Beautiful sunset!

Well...I don't have any questions. V

You have nothing to prove. Anyone who questions what you can do with a camera merely has to click on the 'all galleries' link at the top of your page. I too, enjoy your journeys in the land of PhotoShop.
