Sunsets and Sunrises Vol X

[Michael Lerch]

Volume 9 hit 100 with a nice orange glow sunset from Ruth and 99 other cool sets and rises. You should check it out if you missed it or if you just want to look at all the fun again.

So allow me to begin Volume X (ten) of photos of set and rises with some fun I had last July.

[Michael Lerch]

Neat pics Christopher. I can hear the crunch of the snow.Thanks Ruth, your orange and gold are comforting.

Arizona Sunset #111

 

[Ruth Quist]

Michael, what colors you caught in #111.

More Peaches and Cream

[Hans Stocker]

Arizona sunset #111 is really painterly, Michael. A true brush painting. Great peachy colors, Ruth. Very tasty.

Mainly Blues

[Michael Lerch]

Nice shot Ruth, nice rich sunset color as with  your photo Hans and the blues!..Thanks to you both for your comments. It all starts with how the shot is being programmed to be recorded. I haven’t used Auto in years, and sunsets are tricky, with everything changing quickly and ever decreasing  light.  Take lots of shots and make each one different ,vary your exposures,  etc. .Its also nice to have clouds so willing to put on a show. I still don’t know how I got this shot tho

Arizona Sunset#112

[Ruth Quist]

Michael, you are so correct, nice shot.  I am not great with camera settings.  I tend to use intelligent auto.  Which is brighter than me.

Last Light

[Patricia L Keelin]

Just taking a moment to compliment everyone on the luscious, photos you’ve all been posting here ~~ beautiful work!

And Hans, what a stunner featured on the gallery last week (Sunset of Charigny, Nov 15th). WOW!

You’ve collectively inspired me to roll out of bed a little earlier to catch a little color in the morning sky.

Morning Blush

 

[Hans Stocker]

Thank you Keelin for your kind words. It is nice to read that we inspired you to catch your Morning Blush. It surely was worth the early rise.

Ruth your Last Light has magic. As has #112, Michael. Great colors.

Nice marmalade set and thanks for your kind words. Ruth, That shot and the one below taken a few minutes apart were made possible with a good zoom telephoto. And what you see is not full frame so I was near the boundaries of  of the tech to provide a still good  shot. I thought I seen a lot of sunsets. This one  the light just lit up the clouds like I never seen before.

[Gregory Venarsky]

My dear friends it has been too long since I have posted here. I don’t blame you if you don’t remember me, but I used to be very active on these forums. I believe it is finally time to come back and begin posting again, as I really did forget how beautiful this community is. Anyways, here’s one of my favorite sunsets as of recently. I took it right after storm chasing in the Midwestern U.S.

Golden

[Michael Lerch]

Hey Greg!, Its been a while.Always looking forward to seeing your work. Chasing storms in the mid-west sounds like a riot. Nice Sunset!
