Sunset @ the Dead Sea, a photo from Madaba, North

Photographer's Note

Watching the sun sets as we ride down the hills of Jordan Valley while overlooking the Dead Sea. The land on the opposite side is Israel. At 423 metres below sea level it is the lowest dry point on Earth and is 8.6 times saltier than the sea. Because of its salinity no animals can flourish there. Swimming is almost impossible. People would simply float due to its density.

Lovely lovely colours and no overexposure where the sun is. As a fanatical photographer of sunrises and sunsets, what's your secret as I frequently suffer overexposure problems. I think a lot of it is to do with capturing the su just as it is near the horizon and before the light gets too harsh? The tower on the right balances out the image very well :D
