Sky on Fire Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Need some feedback from the experts on this one, took my first shots with manual settings today and apart from the slight patch of over exposure in the sky I am over the moon with the results what do you think?

Beautiful colours, though it seems a bit blurry in places, maybe a bit of sharpening? Otherwise a perfect shot, you should be over the moon!

Bel effet de reflection sur l'eau et très bonnes couleurs, un peu dommage pour la partie surexposée du ciel en haut à gauche

Nice Composition, and the colours are amazing again, you seem to be able to capture these sunrise/sunsets very well! Was it windy when you took this? the reeds at the front seem to be a little blurred, i assume this is because of the long exposure? im not, an expert but i'd say the exposure was pretty good!

Hi Ken,

I'm also not an expert however I do think, the picture is not sharp enough. If you use a tripod and you're for instance shooting a landscape (it will not run away ;-)) use the timer shooting function of your camera. This way you will never get an unsharp picture due to movement of taking the picture.

Regards,
Paul

The colours are great along with good composition - well done.
I used to go to Bolam lake on my bike when I was a kid - have some good memories from there.
