Description Supposedly our sunset is supposed to be red and pretty this evening due to the cloud of ash floating above the UK...but...I'm not so certain, this doesn't look too out of the ordinary...does it?

Sammie :devthe-photographipoet: has written a beautiful piece to accompany this shot! Check it out!
Anything But Ordinary  ©Sammie Farrell  15/04/10   
 
The rush of autumn colours  Spreads the sky like scattered sands  And the gentle green of the grass is confused  As the curvacious curves of the clouds  Whisper gently above  Tempting, teasing  The colours of love  and romancing   
Even the birds don't fly  For fear they'd break the bursting blaze  Of the rouge, so rudely cast before the eye  A beautiful chaotic way to seize the day   
It's a view of something ordinary  But it's anything but ordinary right now  For the reds and the

Very dramatic, but composition needs balancing with sun off centre and something near the edge. Still good tho.

Yes it was a bit of bland countryside where objects were concerned!
Thank you

Definitely different from the sunsets I see. Normally it's more than just red but this is absolutely lovely

It's perhaps a little too red for an English sunset, but hey: Red sky at night, shepherd's delight, so I'm not complaining

Plus: it's a seriously gorgeous photo so who cares if the subject matter's a little out-of-the-ordinary?

I think it might be too red But it's natural I promise

Nah...

It's pretty cool.

It's not as red as my first sunset I posted... and I did nothing to the colours or anything for that one.. don't even know how I could have achieved the shot.

This one is more orange... well, for me, anyway.

Still an awesome photo, nevertheless. It's a slight shame it's a bit unbalanced in terms of angles.

I'll have a search for your sunset

Unbalanced? :/

3wyl In reply to Kaz-D [2010-04-18 12:43:46 +0000 UTC]

Found it?

I don't know if you would class it as red, as such. =/

It felt a bit slanted, but that might just be me. My laptop is balanced on two shoe boxes and an Argos catalogue.

Interesting table
I know what you mean about the slant I did use a tripod, for the first time since ever But I find myself setting it up then twisting and turning the camera anyway...soo...It's pointless That and cars kept driving past, and it was a dusty road...excuses excuses but I was concerned for my lens

3wyl In reply to Kaz-D [2010-04-19 19:38:17 +0000 UTC]

Ah...

Yes, I'd rather shoot with just my hands as well, unless it's at night, has a longer shutter speed etc.
