Sunset Sailing

iso 200, f 10, ss 1/400



Today I learnt very important lesson... always take all your gear with you (DH is saying "I told you so"). Thinking I would just be taking some sailing shots I only took my 70-200 lens. I got some good shots, but then I turn around and saw this amazing sunset. The tide was really low so there were these big rockpools reflecting the colours. I'm not unhappy with these pics, but I sure wish I had my 17-85 with me. For some reason my computer is hiding the settings, but I'll post them when I find them. I used Noiseware on these shots, first time I have used it - very impressed. I think the colours are a bit muddy in the sailing one and my horizon is a bit crooked - oops

Love em all... I can see why you would have liked a wide angle lens. Great beauty to capture!!**The sailing pic is my fave...

About your settings, I have figured out that after you run noiseware, the settings disappear. So, I always look at the original for them. (I save almost every version of a pic. Probably shouldn't--my computer is FULL!)HTH...

Wow, gorgeous colors! And your POTD from yesterday is perfect. Who would think one could look up and see a tennis ball wrapped around a power wire?!?
