I realized yesterday that the title of the board is "nature" and "wildlife." We're covering wildlife pretty good, I think, but what about nature shots that don't involve wildlife? I thought maybe we could share sunsets. This is one of the few I've taken that I like. Show us yours...

Here is one from film that I took in Sedona from my deck :) Not a great file, but I assure you that is the true color/saturation of the sky.

All 3 different days (although every day is like that!), and no adjustments. Taken with a coolpix 5700 on A mode.

I am obviously joking about the saturation, but it was only a little less saturated ;)

BTW.. That is 19mm on film and the hill is 2-3 miles away. It's really bad scan , but it's a sunset ;)

My wide angle lenses don't do well for taking pictures of birds...but sunsets are good.

I have only a few sunsets, anything here any good?

Of course thre's always a bird and a sunset :)

A couple from Africa. Awesome Sunsets everyone, such a special time of day to shoot.

Wow. These are all so good. Personally, I really like Wombat's car, WalterRick's San Francisco, and the two from Africa.

Any more out there?

This is a nice thread :^)

Here's a recent one I took looking towards Platteville and the new Hwy 151.

not all that great, i just found it a bit fun

Wow, gosh almighty there have been some very nice images in this thread. I have heard it stated that every picture of a sunset is the same image, and in most cases I tend to agee. There isn't much creativity put into this subject. Most people think of sunsets in a P&S frame of mind, but I think the images in this thread show that it dosn't have to be that way.

Thanks for posting all of the awesome shot guys!

All I have are a copule of retreads, but what the hell...

Florida...Ok so it's a sunrise...Sue me :p

I'm thinking of blowing that up to poster size.
I took it with a smart car owners magazine cover in mind.
Never came to fruition :(

Well I can't compete with whats here but here is one of my many sunsets. This one was just this week in my backyard through the trees looking southwest.

Now off to shoot girls basketball.....

Here's one from saturday.

This one's a love or hate it, I've posted it here before.

Here is one I took in Florida when we lived there...........

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a154/KatzPomDogz/Sunset3.jpg

The first is a shot I took while vacationing in La Porte, Ca. The sun was just setting behind a mountaintop lined with trees.

These shots were all taken within 1/2 hour and are straight out of the camera with no PS work. Within an hour we had a thunderstorm.

JS

thunderstorms make the BEST sunsets. I wish I had been at our house in Maine when there was a thunderstorm, but I had gone home early for a training thing for school. My parents took some snapshots, and the color was absolutely fantastic. I'll try to find them.

Here is mine. Its the first shot I ever took with my D1 (its had a little PS work on it- mostly Saturation)

From Saratoga Gap area in the Bay Area overlooking the ocean

The colors on these are just strange though. Kind of makes you curious as to why they changed so much so quick. Only thing I can think of is dust ahead of the storm.

iamfunk,
Those are very beautiful sunset pictures, I have a question though with the one with the boat, How did you not get a sharp glare of light? Many of my pictures are ruined by the sun and I have a hard time capturing it like that? I would love to know some tips. Thanks

Some from the archives, Shot with Digital Rebel.

I have a few from my recent Puerto Vallarta visit posted here. (http://homepage.mac.com/jfelbab/Travel/PhotoAlbum43.html)

Here is one from that library.

Real nice. I can't think of Puerto Vallarta without the "Loveboat" theme running though my head.

I know what you mean. Puerto Vallarta is very romantic and quite charming. Their port is usually full of cruise ships. I really love the place. The sunsets are remarkable as are the Mexican people.

Ya know....

I always thought sunsets were mundane until I watched this thread grow!

GREAT IMAGES EVERYONE!

Took this today. Had to walk abck through the woods in the dark to get it. ;)

Here is a couple of sunset shots I took tonight with my new camera(Nikon D70s, first time I have used it!)

I don't know that this is a "nature shot" but it is a recent sunset.

We'll let you slide on that one ;) hahaha.

It's a sunset!

That windmill doesn't catch much wind :)

Here's another.

LOL, Paul, that was what I kind of liked about that picture. I found it very unique, hard telling what happened to it, it was in the middle of a wheat field.

These are two of my oldies but goodies. They were taken on the southern shore of Lake Winnebago in Fond du Lac this summer.

Some really nice shots here. Here's one I took a few evenings ago:

Here are some more older ones...

Here is mine from Sweden

Right now I would just be happy to see the sun--never mind it setting.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so that's what it looks like ;)
Actually, I did see it for a while today----after I got done with my picture taking. :(

Hello All,

Here's one from this past summer, near my work: It's Manhattan Beach Pier.

Enjoy,
