6 days out.. a few sunsets · 02:51 PM

6 days, 4 of of rain, few daylight pictures, but more than your fair share of sunsets....

My favourite is the 2nd shot, Norm. I really like "dramatic" clouds:-)
I'm glad you didn't try to "HDR" this shot and maintained a very natural look. With the dynamic range of today's sensors it is so easily overdone.
Great job!

I agree totally... go for the magic moment when everything peaks, using HDR just isn't the same. You can see in the one below it, probably taken just a few seconds later, there is always a stretch of about 2 minutes when everything comes together, and then it fades quickly.
