As most of you know that have watched the sun set behind the mountains surrounding QZ -- it's hard not to take the time to grab your camera and try to capture the reds and yellows that suddenly appear.
I didn't have time to set up on a tripod -- so the DOF was not what I would have liked. However, this shot turned out pretty good. It "will" loose some texture between the resolution I shot and that required to upload here.
My final settings were 60 at F5.6. With hand held, shutter speed should not be slower than a 60th -- so I then just kept opening the aperture until enough light came through to get the colors I was seeing with my eyes. It is shot in manual mode.
Am looking forward to getting the old tripod out -- and going for F20.0 to F40.0, and messing around with various settings to get these beautiful QZ sunset colors onto my hard drive.
The camera used here was a Canon Digital Rebel XT using a Tamron 18-200 lens.
