Winter Sunset

On the way home tonight.

First shot I've posted from my new Panasonic FZ20. ISO 200, Manual Exposure, f2.8 1/40th zoomed to 436mm (35mm equiv) High res jpeg. Next time I shoot something this dark I'll save it as a tiff because I had quite a bit of artifacts.

Beautiful sunset Chunk!!! I love the barn and silo silhouette along with the colors of the sky. I would like to see a little more detail in the shadows in the FG tho. Maybe cropping the bottom of the photo off a bit would keep me from wondering what's there. Great first post with your new toy!

I really love photo. I'm always looking for a chance like this one. Since you were lucky enough to have some nice objects in the FG, it would be nice to see a little more of them. I would like to know if adding a little brightness would help.

It's a privilege to be there at the right time.

Thanks Michael and Eagle Eye for taking the time to look and comment. The original does have a bit more detail in the farmstead. I've tried to bring it out a little more in this version for posting.

The second version is much better as the complete black silhouette of the bottom in the first was distracting from the magnificent sky. Personally, I would like to see just a tad more detail in the bottom but not too much. Keeping the silos dark but lightening a little to the immediate left and right of the barn.

Nice capture.

Chunk, Great image!. . I like this alot. Sedcond edit the ticket. As Tuna stated, if you coulkd tweak out just a tad more detail, wow. but as it is now, i like it very much as the sky is awesome and I can make out what is in the foreground. well done. btw. . .always save in tiff you never know. . . get a larger memory card if you must!

Really good sunset.
I like the edited version better, that extra detail is just enough as it is.
Though when printed I guess the original wouldn't look quite like it does on my monitor.
