Hi TL Friends,

The benefits of having a compact camera at all times, puts you in a position to capture just about anything! In this case, I was walking in a park the other day and hadn’t notice what was happening in the sky. The Sun had basically set and there was just enough clouds in the sky combined with the reddish/yellow glow to make me say,..”WOW..!!!”

Of course, bumping up the saturation & playing with the channel mixer, does create an even more dramatic, “End of Days” photo!

Enjoy!

Have a good time
Saman

WOW! Nice pic with your "throw-down" camera! We call them "throw-downs" because if they break, no big deal!...they are inexpensive...just go get another one! This is very nice Constantinos!

Mmm... you're right, Κώστα... carry a camera and you can capture just about anything... Which makes me confess... I don't carry one all the time anymore. I used to, but the urge has gone.
Anyway, I'm glad you had your cam with you during that walk.
Nice mood here... TFS

Excellent colours well framed by the trees. Images like these always reminds me of war of the worlds. I can even hear the music.

So you were in Romania last week Costas. You get around!
And the picture is definitely a WOW for the colours. Quite on fire isn't it? Superb result, well seen and worked on!
Yes, we have to learn to open our eyes and look up and around more, I think. That's why the ISO Day was so interesting - Dawn cracking the whip and making us work!

Hi Constantinos,
What a glow in this sunset picture. Beautiful colors and composition. Yes, it does pay to carry a camera all the time. Regrads. Danilo

Outstanding colour in that sky Constantinos. The thick frame and the tree branches isolate it quite nicely.

Hello Constantinos...I can't remember seeing a sunset on your gallery for quite some time now. Delightful colours, well composed and nicely framed by the silhouetted trees. TFS,
Dave

Nice job, Constantinos. The tree silouettes are a nice way to set off the color of the sky. Well composed.

Υπέροχη φωτογραφία με εντυπωσιακά χρώματα και πολύ καλό καδράρισμα. Ο "φλεγόμενος" ουρανός φαίνεται πολύ όμορφα πίσω από της σιλουέττες των δέντρων.

HELLO MY DEAR FRIEND.

this picture simply takes my breath away! what wonderful, delightful, warm, tender, soft colors. It's a perfect sky for meditate. Then, I love the contrast that offers the shadows of the trees.

Congratulations.
Luci

P.S How are you doing? I hope that everything is fine!

Hi Dear Cons! This is a superb fiery sky bordered with the trees. It must have been something to witness this beauty!

Great work!

Yan :)
