Sunset before I go

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Sunset before I go

Couple more hours and ill be on the road north.. woke up from an afternoon Nanna Nap so i dont feel like a zombie all night and tomorrow.. and saw this through the window, so unpacked my camera and grabbed Dug's 10-20 and rushed out to grab a snap as the colours were fading very fast

Image

Quickly before I go.. im thinking about attempting a bit of Astro photography with my kit of lenses if its possible because the nearest town is 80kms away.. it should be dark enough to see the starts clearly, what kind of settings should i use and what lens??

Cheers
Tim

Have a look at Big V's photo with a 50mm 1.8, great photo.

And Alpha_7's attempt:

Your 50mm should do just fine, have fun. Don't take your camera outside at night with your famous rum :wink:

Cheers,

Stunning color... There's something magical about watching a sunset (or a sunrise) like this unfold...
