My First Sunset Shots

Cherlyn · 24th June 2003

Looking for comments so I can improve.
Lots of room for that

No cropping was done.

These pictures were taken w/ my A40 over the past week.

Taken with Tripod

Much better.

Just that the arrangements are slightly out, the 2nd shot doesn't blend in with the rest. As for the shots itself.... still thinking.

IMHO.... if Ur subject is sunset.... then Ur focus should be on the sky with minimal distractions..... It seems from Ur pictures than Ur main focus is on something else.....

Anyway.... I am a newbie.... so juz speaking from a newbie's perspective.....

Like Ur last 4 pictures..... Nice....

I think you've got some good compositions there. Probably like your first shot best. The 2nd shot would have been the favourite but for the exposure. I think its alittle too dark, even for silhoettes. But its alot better than the previous landscape shots!

Well done!

Heh, some are pretty good actually, whereas some you'll need to adjust your curves. Another title other then "My first suset shots" will be good.

Funny, I sort of favour this shot, only if the lady is on the right hand side and the horizon is not tilted. I like the concept.
