Sunset over the rodeo

Please forgive the ghosting on the people - it was a handheld 5xp multiexposure with moving people.

 

5xp HDR - tonemapped in Photomatix twice (for a slightly more dramatic sky) and blended in CS3.

 

Yes, this is an HDR with some minor PP adjustments in Photoshop but it really did look like this - it was an awesome sunset. I was saying to my wife a few hours before that it was going to be a great sunset (but we had planned to be at the rodeo this night so I couldn't find a nice beach location) and I was proved very right. Sunsets & sunrises are all about the clouds I've decided; although the dust from all the bull riding, steer roping, etc, added nicely to the orange tint in the lower sky.

 

Better large on black.
