Rawene sunset

Posted by kiwisa (North Shore, New Zealand) on 20 November 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Okay this is a total cheat. The glare was incredible so I used my sunglasses as a filter.

Canon EOS 450D 1/6 second F/20.0 ISO 200 49 mm

Good evening Kiwisa,
from your host, I am very excited. The idea with the sunglasses is very good. I have already done so. The color change will usually so that it looks even more beautiful. They have given this recording a great outfit. I'm looking forward to your next picture. Thank you for your nice comment on my page. I can not always answer comments from others, to not have the time. I wish you all the best. Dear greetings Christel
