Made it just in time for the setting sun to drop below the horizon in Rondeau Park. Chloe was our model for the evening.
Despite some very aggressive mosquitos eating her alive, she really came through with her poses.

This is a pretty tough technical image. Shot into the sun with about 7-8 minutes to get the shot. Shot with a 100mm macro lens at f32. I also used 2 remote flashes to light the front of the paintbrush and a reflector. Photographed in the Oregon Cascades.
A chance opportunity as I was in between staying and leaving. The sun was setting over the Green Mountains of Vermont and shining on this fence ever so lovely.
HFF!

Serene Sunset / Chokai Forest, Yamagata
We were standing atop a hill overlooking the vast Shonai Plain dotted with villages and the silent flows of Mogami River. We experienced this mother nature became more brilliant with the presence of the setting sun.
It was my utmost pleasure to see this scenery until it flowed into the night.
庄内平野を悠々と流れる最上川。この広大な自然にあたたかな彩りを添えるのが、丸い夕日。
日が沈み、夜へと流れる様を見られるのは、最高の贅沢だ。
"The setting sun, and music at the close, as the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last, Writ in remembrance more than things long past".--William Shakespeare
Amid the beautiful orange, lilac and carmine of last night's sunset, my shutter closed just as an aeroplane sailed noiselessly through the sky.
Last night there was a very pretty sunset at the conclusion of a warm, spring day. Luckily when I took a late afternoon stroll, I took my camera with me so that I could capture the glorious hues that filled the skies and gilded the clouds.
As the cool, wet weather of fall approaches, my mind reflects back on Maui... I took this shot from Ka'anapali Beach looking west into the setting sun. The island barely visible in the distance is Lanai. The photo was taken in March 2017, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy!
Chances are that you have seen a number of sunrises from me, but sunsets are quite another story. Very little sunsets in my photostream. The reason for this is simple. I am not discriminating between sunrise and sunset, of course - both are beautiful, peaceful, culminating moments. On the other hand, I quite often love to contemplate a good sunset - and I am one who loves to drive other people's attention towards the beauty of a sunset (for some obscure reason so many people do not look at the sky any more...). But shooting at a sunset usually is beyond me: work, family life... only rarely I really stand a chance to get ready to seriously capture a sunset - I mean, something more than point my smartphone and take a photo from my garden.
Sunrises are a fundamentally different matter: nobody wants anything from me at that time of the day, so my chances to enjoy a sunrise session are substantially higher ;-) This is one of those precious occasions: my family and I were on a brief vacation in Umbria (see my Then Someone drew the curtains and... or A gift of Gold & Silk for some detail about this beautiful region in Central Italy) and in those days we allowed ourselves to live at a pretty leisurely pace. This made the trick and I did not miss the opportunity when it occurred.
Beautiful, peaceful, even moving as sunsets go, I still have a problem with them. Sunset is the end of the day, the end of light. It marks the beginning of the night, that is true: sunlight dies, but the gentle light of the stars gets center stage. However I do not love endings in general - I even feel a touch of sadness as I realize that the end of a book I am reading is getting close...
Well, this is where the intimate, astronomical relationship between sunset and sunrise come to rescue the situation. Everyone knows that our lives and that of our Mother Earth are governed by the endless cycle of night and day. So the sunset is just a chapter of a predictable - yet wondrous - story where it is followed by a sunrise, in a neverending rhythm that is the very pulse of our awesome living home planet. So at last I can enjoy a beautiful sunset without longing for the day that is flowing past.
Incredibly and inexplicably this photo of mine has ended up in Explore on 2022 September 29<\a>, albeit in the long tail of the gallery, about 4 years after the date of posting.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.3/0/+1.3 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4. In the process I used to great advantage a small trick of mine involving Nik SIlverEfex Pro 2. Another good contribution to post-processing came from a cool trick by Boris Hajdukovic I have found rather serendipitously on the web.
Post-scriptum
I am afraid that colours and tones of this picture are pretty close to the edge of looking overdone. It all depends on your screen, of course: the picture looks safely good on the Samsung screen where I have processed it, but it looks a bit over-the-top on my other screen (HP), so I have rather subtly downtoned it.
Now we know that a picture cannot possibly look right on every screen - the factors affecting the results are simply too many, including largely unpredictable ones, such as personal display settings. Admittedly one should not think too much about this, but when a photo is close to the critical boundary one should struggle to find the better balance between what she would like the photo to be and the risk of looking overdone. Since this photo is important to me, I would be grateful for comments about this matter, to help me realise if I have to downtone it a bit more :-)
Thank you very much in advance!
The almond harvest has been in full swing here in Butte County, California. The sweeping process they use during harvest kicks up an extraordinary amouont of dust througout the valley. We complain a lot about how the dust seems to find its way in through any crack or cranny, however all that is put aside when we can witness a beautiful sunset with the sun utilizing all that dust as a natural filter.
Just before sunset at Barricane Beach, North Devon. At the northern end of Woolacombe Bay, looking out across the bay towards Morte Point.

The summer of 2015 did not go without a grand farewell.On this eve of its official last day, the sun quietly slipped behind the "Point of Rocks" and then the sky EXPLODED with unimaginable color and patterns.

A doll watching the beautiful setting sun in the west coast of Te Waipounamu, New Zealand.
A photo of Doll × Tilt-shift photography. Here Nikon D700 and my PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED lens were used to apply Tilt-shift technique to create a new perspective structure in my doll photos with ultra-wide-angle situations. It is my friend Cynthia_China who gave me some extra help with the manual HDR work for this photo after I returned from my journey in New Zealand.
