Neat Sunset Photo's

Neat Sunset Photo's · 10:41 AM

These were taken at Panama City Beach with my K20D and DA-40 2.8 limited. I know there nothing special to you photographers but i'm not a photographer, just a jerk with too much money trying to take some good pictures. I can tell I'm not to good by the lack of comments I get. But that's OK I'm still trying to learn. My daddy told me that If you don't learn something new every day you may as well shoot yourself or buy a hat and use your head for something.

When we used to come down here 10 years ago in the winter to fish for a few days you didn't see but a couple of high rise buildings along the beach. Now Look!

This shot I used the Sigma 28-70 f2.8-4

I like the last one with the reflection off the water and the right side of the photo having the buildings fading into sunset.

I like them all, I wonder if a fill flash might have brought out more detail in the darker areas. Just a thought, I'm no pro either. Keep on having fun!

I envy you living on the gulf coast of Florida. I spent a week there near Clearwater once..gorgeous area.

A nice series - I would not take the lack of comments as an indication you are not a good photographer - the forum is growing , threads get pushed down sooooo quick. Some pictures strike people some don't. And finally I would quess the vast majority of memebers here fit into your photography class as opposed to being professionals - I know I certainly do

Very nice sunsets and ditto to what Dave just said. I work nights and lots of overtime this time of year and many days just have a very short time to browse through the photos and when times up I have to go. I try to make a note to go back tomorrow but tomorrow there will be dozens more great pictures posted. I still have a 2 gig card of my own pics to download and PP from last weeks vacation/camping trip. I grew up in Fla. and miss those spectacular sunsets.

Very peaceful feeling in this series Jack. I like all three.

I agree with Daacon and would have said pretty much the same thing. Hey, I don't know you but I don't think your a jerk

but if you do have to much money I can help you spend it. I like the shots and prefer #3 but may straighten a smidge (technical term)
