Windmill at sunset

iso 800, f 5.6, ss 1/500





ios 800, f 5.6, ss 1/800




Same windmill, taken from two slightly different angles and taken about 10 minutes apart. I am really missing the long twilights we have here in summer. The sun is setting so quickly now. On the first one I used the USM set at about 20/25/0, you can see the white flare above the horizon and around the windmill. The second one I didn't use USM at all. I used neat image to decrease the noise on both. Looking back I could have decreased my iso, I had plenty of ss to play with. The file size is pretty small, so I apologize if they pixelate when enlarged.
