Landscape Beartooth Sunset

Beartooth Sunset · **7 Likes**

I drove up the Beartooth Pass to catch a sunset and maybe some star tracing but it was too windy to use a tripod so the stars were not doable. I'm going to go back toward the end of the week and try some more. End of the week because there's a little white stuff in the forecast between now and then.

Looking West the sun set between Pilot Peak and Index Peak. K-1, A 20mm f/2.8, in-camera HDR +/- 2 EV, 1/180 @ f/11, ISO 200.

Larger image here.

Nice sunset shot with some rich colors in the fore and middle ground. It has been many years since I was up there, so thanks for sharing this photo.

Interesting scenery - and you did good job of catching whole thing just as the sun reached the landscape.

Perfect timing by catching the sun at this angle.

" Better luck next time " doesn't apply in this case .

Beartooth Sunset redux. Separate the in camera HDR files in SilkyPix Digital Utility and remerged them in LR CC Classic. Much cleaner and less noise.

Both are great = it comes down to personal taste - I like the original better, mainly for its "imperfections" as compared to the second one (sorry "imperfections" was the term I could come up with, but really it is not the best term).

Thanks Ed. It's a toss up for me too.

Beautiful shot Steve!
I think I also prefer the shot in the original post.
