Childers Sunset
I took this photo on the way home from Childers one day in the June holidays, just while the sun was setting over a ploughed feild. Childers is about 45-60 minutes North of Maryborough and is filled with red dirt making the feilds really nice at sunset time.

Verity,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good shot you have taken. As I look at it in the size that the blog automatically shows it, you can really see the rays of light nicely. At the same time I was thinking about what it would look like with a bit more foreground detail. However when I hit the photo and make it larger you can see some real nice detail that generates this context. I really like where you have taken the photo from. What type of camera did you use and what caught your eye enough that you got out of your car and took the photo?
Great Job.
Thanks Mr. Jeffs,I was just using a little PowerShot A495 Canon, 10.0 Megapixels, at full zoom. The whole scene caught my eye actually. The red dirt was really brought out by the sunset (to the human eye.) It was a shame however that my camera would not pick that up.

ReplyDeleteIt might be that your camera has set its own exposure based on the brightness of the light in the sky. You could try setting your exposure from the land you wish to capture and then re-compsing your image. This may have the unwanted effect of overexposing the sky. A graduated neutral density filter could compensate for this. But, you have made an engaging image in the conditions you had to work with.
