New Sunset Photos
A couple nights ago while i was walking to my local shops, i happened to notice the sun had started to set, and was turning part the sky bright red over Hopwas Woods near to where i live. I tryed to get back home in time to grab my camera, but by the time i got back it was too late. So yesterday just before 5, i set out hoping the for the same kind of sunset.
There wasnt the same kind of clouds in the sky this time, so the colours wernt as vibrant like the previous night. I managed to find a gab in the tree line on top of a hill in which to shoot the sunset. There was still some snow left on the ground from a few days ago, so i tryed to include some of it in the foreground.
I set my camera to F8, hoping that this would leave enough in focus while letting the right amount of light into the sensor. I used shutter speeds from 1/80 to 1/300 depending on the amount of light avalible at the time. The ISO was set to 100, to avoid any nosie in the image.
Because i was pointing my camera straight into the sun, the filters on my lens were causing a flare on some of the images. I have managed to remove most of it while editing my photos. The ones shown here have not been editied, the ones which have are on my Flickr page.
