Sunset Tonite

With these digital cameras, always a good idea to carry a spare sd card in your car I learned tonite

Had to race home to get the one I forgot and then race back to catch the sunset

My only regret is not having a star filter with me.

So glad I raced back

Just in time too.

You know it's going to be good when there's a little bit of a gap on the horizon for the sun to lick the undersides of the cloud cover!

Very nice images. I go back and forth over which one I like best.

Sunsets are a dime a dozen. These really jump out from the crowd. Great photos!!!!

Bad weather makes good pictures!
Depending on the lens, stopping down to f11 or so produces great starburst without a filter, one of the reasons I cherish my Da 21mm.
Yes, alwys keep a spare card with your camera.

I carry a card case with three of them. Just in case ( ;P ).
The set of the sun is wonderful. You surely did time it well.

Great sunsets!
But I'm curious as to why you had no card- spare or otherwise? Did you fill it up, did it fail, lose it ? Or just forget there was no card in the camera ?

One advantage to being as lousy a photographer as I am, is that you can always make more space on a card by just deleting some of the bad shots!

Good photos and +1 for spare SD cards. Happened to me dozens of times, good to have filled any empty little pockets with additional cards in case...

You know what - I grabbed the camera so fast when I saw the sunset forming I forgot that I forgot to replace it in the camera. That wont happen again! Thanks
