Description Hello everyone! Here is a shot I took in Pellinge (an islet outside Porvoo in Finland) a few months ago when =XenOtaku and I was there taking photos of the sunset. The sunset that evening was quite nice, a huge cloud just above where the sun set was making the wet rocks glow by the shore. Processed RAW, did a bit of burning & dodging in PS, and finally added the soft vignetting and frame.

Print available soon.

Info: Canon EOS 20D | Sigma 12-24mm EX HSM | Cokin X120 + X121 Graduated Grey | ISO100 | f/22 | 13secs

Hope you like it. Comments and critiques are welcomed.

Honestly, I love your photos. But how do you get them like this? How do you get them so damn perfect? I'm going to buy me a new camera soon, a Canon EOS 400D. Can I get my photos like your's on this camera? It's not like I want to copy your photos, but it would be nice to be able to take such photos.
Thank you very much. I hope you understand what I mean.

Thank you. I guess it just comes from within.. I mean, it doesn't matter what camera you have... if you can't pull it together at that time when you have to ... you can't really expect any good results. You have to know your gear and it's capabilities. It doesn't matter how good a camera you have if you can't use it to the fullest; as it's not the camera that takes the photos.. it's the human standing behind it...

This is just simply amazing; really luv the color and the scene ... \

BTW, just a quick qs, as I am currently looking into Cokin filter system as well.
Is that vignetting comes from the filter, due to set at an Ultra wide angle (e.g. 12mm on 20D), or in post-processing?

Thanks .

Solkku In reply to MD81 [2006-12-15 22:32:02 +0000 UTC]

Thank you.

The vignetting here is post processing.. I have found that for a lens at 18mm and upwards the P-system should be good, but if you have a wider lens then you should get the X Pro system to avoid vignetting.

Thank you so much. I love taking my shots during the sunset, as I'm too lazy to get up for sunrises hehe. Sunsets/sunrises usually provide the best light for photography.

Solkku In reply to EmptyShadow [2006-12-07 21:37:02 +0000 UTC]

I think it's just when the sun has gone down the horizon / out of visibility. Atleast that's the best time for me hehe.
