dramatic sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

this spectacular sunset was the highlight of a windstorm that lasted for days.
The clouds started forming in the morning and stayed in the excat location all day long- between the coast and the mountains.
There are 2 more photographs in this series showing the gradual change in color.

Frightening image. I like how your exposure highlights the darkness of the menacing cloud.

Hi Marialuisa and welcome to TE.
A better sharpness is possible, yes, but is so incredible the picture that is not important.
Great.

dsidwell (9745) 2005-08-31 14:09

A featured photo today! This IS a dramatic sunset. I love the deep colors and tones here, and especially the nice curvy line of clouds weaving its way through the image.

Gregtom (7119) 2005-08-31 14:44

Hello, Marialuisa!
The weather situation over Your head was really dramatic. Contrast between dar, stormy clouds and delicate blue sky is very strong, and the reds making a border between dark and light parts of this picture are really beautiful. Congratulations, it's a pretty work!
regards,
Greg

Very impressionant shot of clouds by the deep texturing and coloring, I see you got a whole serie of it, very well to enjoy.

Hey, I cant critique the grande finale, and not see where it all began! Wow this is even more spectacular than the grande finale! those reds aer so powerful! And in contrast with the very dark clouds on the right it is a stuning composition!

I love the three stages of the sky, dark black, stunning red and blue sky!

Very well captured : )

This is a very impressive sky. It's not very common to see such clouds. A very nice serie of pictures but I prefer this one.

It's simply incredible. I maybe regret the noise, but it remains impressive.

You have a beautiful name Marialuisa and very nice photos, but most of them I like these with the dramatic sky. I can't choose which one is the best of them. This with the red colour is very unusual and mystic so I have choosed it.
Thanks for sharing, it is amazing shot.

starbug (6924) 2005-10-29 7:36

is this really the sky? looks like hell, not the heavens...the red does look like fire, the black like smoke...amazing catch..
best regards
Aleksandra

anakin (2775) 2005-10-30 6:55

Espectacular toma, una increible y muy original perspectiva de este alucinante momento, increibles colores.
Well done

xlgo (554) 2005-11-26 12:27

Hi Marialuisa

My God what a picture - it scares me just by looking at it - can't imagine what you felt when you took it. Colours are so unreal and the picture shows me what I imagine the end of the world would look like.
It is so difficult to choose which of your photos is best.

Regards

Malcolm

annagrace (2463) 2006-01-10 17:27
