Sunset (today)

[CYRN]

Towards sunset. Too bad cannot get the egg yolk sun.


Saw something interesting


Zoomed in for a closer shoot, it's a partial rainbow.


enjoy.

its a little too early for the best sunset shots. actually the best colours are about 30mins AFTER the sun have gone below the horizon. And you can know the precise sunrise/set times and direction from this site.

Aparently the sun already "dissappeared" behind the "smog" right at the horizontal center of the pic.

errr .. u dun use USM for clouds ... makes it worst. USM are for well defined objects with distinct edges or textures. i dun mind soft clouds, for clouds ARE soft.

30D.

What has that got to do wif cam?

As mentioned before, I've cropped the photos and mabbe a little resizing by PS. most probable cause of softness.

what was your f number and where was your focus? It could just be out of focus.

f16 - f22

focus on the buildings for #1 and #2, the rainbow for #3.

[espion]

the softness could also be due the lens operating beyond its diffraction limits which occurs at high f number.
