Photo Assignment #11 SUNSETS OR SUNRISES Due April 26th

[Big Bully]

This weeks assignment is Sunsets and sunrises. You can post as many photos as you would like. Also just because there is a date in the heading doesn't mean you cannot post after that date. Enjoy and have fun. I look forward to your entries.

Happy Shooting!

HI there,

Nothing spectacular but I kinda like it :)

I really like your HDR Thompson. I believe it was an HDR. I think I remember seeing it before with all the images it took to create it.

[Sirashley]

I posted this in another thread but what the hell...

Wow everyone your shots are beautiful!
There is something about a sunset that is just magical. Obviously your photos have shown that! Way to go everyone, and keep them coming. I am enjoying every minute and submission in this assignment!!

What are those hills in the water? Is that around the Puget Sound?

[Jon0807]

Probably my most favorite subject :) Here are a couple I took a while ago. I'll try to get some newer ones up when I get the chance.

[Big Bully]

Yea sunsets has to be my favorite subject also... Probably because there are no two sunsets that are the same, and they are so breath taking.
Here is the sunset I took with my phone about 10 minutes ago.

[PushingTin]

Sorry mine was taken before the assigment, just checked the rules now - but looking at some other photos exif it appears I am not the only one posting a photo taken before the challenge?

[Arch]

Yes, the idea of assignments is to go and shoot FOR the assignment... its not just to show off your sunset pics like many people have done! (we have the Themes section for that).
But these threads are member driven rather than moderated so its up to you guys. ;)

[WTF?]

its an oldy, but a goodie i think. not really on my behalf though, you cant really take a bad picture of a sunset like this, haha

Sunsets are one of my favorite subjects. You folks have posted some really beautiful shots.

A sunset was one of the very first things that I set out to shoot when I got a DSLR.

Justanengineer That is great , nice shots. Wish more people would take a interest in our men and women protecting us.

Once again nice work!!!

I agree guys. The whole purpose for this assignment is for you guys to go out and shoot.. I enjoy the photos but the whole reason for the assignment is to get you out and shooting.

So far I have found three ticks and about half a dozen scratches to get to this spot. I figure it was a fair trade.

[One Sister]

Yes, well worth it for the viewer, that's for sure. I really love this one...and yes, kundalini, for what it's worth, I admire your work too ;).

[LisaK24]

sunrise shot here in Virginia Beach this past weekend :mrgreen:

my first time attempting any type of sunrise/sunset photo as well...it was definitely worth getting up early for!

[Big Bully]

Wow.. Lisa, I used to live in VA beach.! And your pictures just made me miss it!

Kundalini Yes I would say your photo was well worth the ticks.. BEAUTIFUL!

Tempra, What a shot! I mean wow! I love how you were able to capture the mist of the falls in your photo.. Fantastic.

[kundalini]

Yes, well worth it for the viewer, that's for sure. I really love this one...and yes, kundalini, for what it's worth, I admire your work too ;).
Wow, thanks and thanks again. I have ever had that comment before.
Kundalini Yes I would say your photo was well worth the ticks.. BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks BB.

UPDATE: Now the patches of poison are showing and itching like mad.

[Big Bully]

Wow, thanks and thanks again. I have ever had that comment before.

Thanks BB.

UPDATE: Now the patches of poison are showing and itching like mad.


:hug:: Hey anytime, you were willing to go and get bit and brush against poison plants for our enjoyment.. So we should be saying thank you!

BTW you might want to get the poison spots checked out.

^^^ Hi Redmare, and welcome to TPF. I see one picture, followed by two red 'x's.

(And I used to live in Ottawa...where were the pics taken?)

^^^ Hi Redmare, and welcome to TPF. I see one picture, followed by two red 'x's.

(And I used to live in Ottawa...where were the pics taken?)

Oops! Yeah they were error links but I thought I fixed those. Shouldn't be anymore red 'X's. That was actually taken on a hill right near Hog's Back Falls. It was very nice weather in Ottawa to be taking photographs. :D

[Big Bully]

Beautiful photo Redmare! And welcome to TPF!

Anty, I love the sun in your photo. How did you get the photo to not have the suns rays?

[Antarctican]

I took the picture through my window, so perhaps there's a UV coating or something that blocks them? The lake is behind the electrical towers...so in the background you can see the pinky-orange reflection of the sun on the water.

[Big Bully]

I really like it.. It isn't often that you see the sun captured like that. Well done! Oh and big fan of the colors!

[Antarctican]

The sunrises are really spectacular when the sun is low on the horizon. There's no post-processing on that shot other than 'auto levels'. I just wish there was something more scenic in the foreground. [Sometimes when it rises in a slightly different location I can get one of the ferries crossing in the foreground. But I'm not always up early enough to catch the sunrise :greenpbl: )

[bikefreax]

Wow I love the first pic with that tree! Silhouetted trees against a sunset/sunrise are gorgeous!

That is actually the second oldest Burr Oak tree in the country. It is huge and would probably take at least 5 men to reach around it.

[Redmare]

Second oldest in the country?!?! I'm sure there are many Bur Oak trees in the US so that's pretty amazing. I've never seen one in real life. I'm sure there are a few here in Canada but I think they're more towards the mid-west.

[jakedoza]

Here are a couple of sunsets I have taken photos of. I am in no way a professional and just used a point and shoot camera for these and they have not been edited.

This one I took at my parents place one evening. I wish now that I wouldn't have taken it at an angle, but oh well.
http://www.jamsessionphoto.com/photoforum/img_0943.jpg

This one I took while visiting New York last November. I was on a boat tour as the sun was setting over Jersey City. I realized later that the ISO was set way to high for this shot.

You guys and girls amaze me! I am really loving this assignment and what everyone is coming up with. Fantastic!

Jake, I actually really love the fact that you took the photo of the trees at an angle, it changes the perspective and brings in a new way of looking at the scene.
Thank you guys so much for participating! I am looking forward to seeing more submissions.

Here is one from last night...

[Exhale]

They're so handy to have around, I wish i had my camera today when i was at my farm, there were around 15 fire trucks all doing there "Underwater" dive training, Quit the action, They also did a bunch of fake fire drills, The entire field is solid ice now haha

I'm new to the site. Just working my way around the threads, and noticed this one regarding sunsets.

This was taken 29 April, and became my most recent desktop background. We're having reddish/yellow sunsets due to the nearby forest fires.

I love sunrises. I just wish they didn't come so early. :lol:

[kundalini]

Got out about 5:30 AM to set up and apparently forgot to reset something from the last time out with the camera. Lots of noise, but... anyway....

[daluke09]

Kundalini, that was a great idea of having the moon and sun in one picture. I just don't think I'll ever do it seeing as how you have to get up at 530. Well maybe I will when I've been up all night but I'm sure the pictures will stink. Great pic.

[Big Bully]

Great job everyone. I seriously love this assignment, you guys are making my day everytime you post pics.. Thank you!

Better late than never... took this one on 5/8. The golden sunset was awesome and at the same time we had this pretty nasty stormfront headed in.

[johngpt]

The particles that have been coloring our sunsets due to the forest fire have subsided somewhat, and we now have more hues available.

Hmmm. Looking at the preview, it's pretty grainy. I think I need to save it as a higher quality jpeg and upload it again.

Uploading higher res didn't change the dark cloud graininess.

Wow goodoneian, that photo is fantastic! It makes me want to go to the beach!

[BrandonS]

Mine's rather boring. First time I ever tried to catch this since I've owned the camera and there was no interesting foreground.

I like the water as a forground. It reflects the colors of the sky, which makes for a beautiful photo.

[Dioboleque]

This is a total stretch but I thought it looked like sun rays back when I took a similar photo for the Green (http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115069) assignment.

Don't usually do sunsets. The sky was fairly dark with some clouds that were rainbow coloured, didn't turn out too well, polariser didn't work either due to the angle from the sun so i settled with this from my window. the same ole sun. (300mm)

[photo28]

Heres an old one I took a few years ago in Key West:
http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn273/Jez028/FLSunset-1.jpg
Its from a while ago, taken with film so its noisy, but I still like it.

[johngpt]

Can certainly see why you'd like it.

Could probably be cleaned up quite a bit in photoshop, eradicating dust, scratches, etc that came with the scanning.

Some healing brush, some selective curves adjustment layers, and one might never know that it was from a scan of an older film print.

It had been well composed and well exposed. A classic. :thumbup:

I hae been wanting to fix it up for a while, and I got a little done. Before I fixed it to post it was little crooked, so I got that far. When I get the chance to remove the scratches and dust and stuff, I'm going to try, hopefully it'll come up good.

Thanks! I have a gazillion images from my last two weeks in Italy -- I'm just too jet-lagged to work on them. The sunrise was one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed them. :) I was just driving into work and I pulled off into a self-storage parking lot and started snapping.

I am very impressed with all the talent we've got on this forum. Amazing shots everyone. Keep up the good worK!
