sunsets

Two more sunset pictures. This shows the use of panning to capture a wider frame. A primary problem with taking wide pictures like this in most places is the lack of open sky for panning. There are a few occasions when the objects in the view actually enhance the picture; other times, they interfere and corrupt the impression.

A wide sunset view with the sea in foreground. This is a pan from two pictures.
Settings: 1/200s f/7.1 at focal length 70mm for both parts.

This next picture is not a pan; for reference.

Settings: 1/125s f/10.0 at 18mm.
