Camping Sunsets

We recently spent a weekend camping at a little lake on the Northern part of the BC/Alberta border. The sunsets were faaaantastic, so I thought I'd share. I'd put them in the critique section, but I like them too much to see them picked apart... :p If you have tips or pointers on sunset pictures though, I'd love to hear them! I'm heading back up there today, for the next 4 days or so, so there will be plenty more photo opportunities. :D

wow... beautiful stuff!!!!..... I like em all.... great work!!:)

love the reflection of clouds in shot 2... and the colours...

did you pump them?? or are they out of camera??

Agreed! These are VERY nice images indeed.
Great job :highfive:

In terms of putting them up in the critique section, yes there would be comments to improve, but IMO they would be minor. These are well done and I am impressed!

Shots 2 and 3 are super shots. Look at the rich colours in shot 2. :highfive:
My main comment for shot 3 would be to have had the boat a little more toward the right side (rule of thirds)...aside from that I wouldn't change much else.

Some great shots and absolutely great exposures particularly 2 and 3. The boat and kids fit perfectly too and the reflections are excellent too.

I may be hard to impress, but I am impressed with these.

Great work. :highfive:

Thanks Travis! I was pretty happy with them... the colors are all boosted just a touch in post-processing. Besides that and a little crop here or there, that's the only change I made.

Thanks a bunch Marko! You guys have really helped me out with speeding up the learning process. I added a shot here that I took with the boat more off to the side.
