Description

Same setting as take 1 but I had to wait for 2 semi trailers to pass and for the dust to settle. I used the same setting and forgot to reajust my exposure and shutter time. So it's a mistake that I did or not. I found the image interesting with the contrast of the sky and the darkness of the landscape. It's up to you to decide if I made a plain mistake or a great mistake ;)

I would say this looks much more the way our eyes perceive a sunset. Just compare the richer colours to the previous one. You have a bit too much "dead" space in the foreground BUT the white line makes an interesting component. You may experiment under exposing a sunset to 1 stop (or more) below the camera's calculation. I can always recommend you look at girsempa's recent captures. Don't stop experimenting - great stuff.

Thanks busi2ness, I`ll give a try during my vacation. At least mys sunsets are better than my moon shots (I won't post them). I'll try maybe with a slower film (800) and a faster one, if I find the result worty I'll post it.
