Sunset in the back yard

Sunset in the back yard · 03:15 AM

Just wanted to show you a very beautiful sunset from last night.

The shot was taken at diffrent ISO settings and diffrent shutter speeds. this one was taken with the Pentax DA 18-55mm lens at 55mm ISO 200 and shutter speed of 1/20 sec. Hand held with the Pentax istDL. PP work up in Photoshopcs2. Just a touch of correction in saturation and highlights and shadows. But not much.

Nice colors! I like it. How much did you lighten up the shadows ? I'm wondering if it would look better with the trees darker.... Good job!

I didn't really do to much in saturation but in shadows/highlights I brought up shadows to it's fullest. I can't get the trees any darker then this.
thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you liked it.

Good shooting.
Cheers: David
