Forgotten Sunset

[Kilo]

This was taken in the spring or summer of 2005 when I use to shoot with my Nikon N75/Sigma lens set at 90mm.
I had forgotten about this photo, and then I was looking through several 4x6 prints that I have, then I saw this, and then I looked for it on disc.

Sorry about the cables and transistors. I know they can be distracting, but I couldn't find a better place to stand at the moment, but at least the sun came out pretty good, (no sun or lens flare/glare either). Also, there isn't much of anything to take pictures of around here except for sunsets or sunrises.

Hey Kilo, this looks like it was a beautiful bright sunset. Just looking at this shot makes me think of a peaceful summer evening, or Armageddon :lol3

Shots like this have great potential, and I think to get the best of the situation you need to have a compelling shape to the silhouette. The wires don't bother me as much as the amorphous hole created by the trees. If you get a chance to shoot something like this again this year keep an eye peeled for the shapes! The color and light will work all by themselves. :D

The light colour background is adding much woo to this photograph. The electric line crossing inside the tree is so clear in this picture.

Thanks!

When it was printed on 4x6 and burned to a disc at WalMart, it didn't look too good. It looked over-exposed. Some think it was them and their technology, I think it was just me not knowing (and still not knowing http://dgrin.com/images/icons/eek7.gif) how to set the settings in my Nikon N75, (nor my Canon 30D).:rolleyes

I had to edit it a little in Nikon's Capture NX2 to get the color that I saw, not what the camera saw, which all I needed to due was lower the exposure. The original photo's color was about 7 shades lighter. I might print it myself someday on a 4x6 matte or gloss.

Thank again! :-)
