Title: Some Sunset
Post by: Summicron on May 17, 2009, 08:50:14 PM
One of the most brilliant and spectacular sunsets I've ever witnessed, my 400mm lens also made the most of that fireball. Looking nortwest towards the coast from Darwen, God certainly painted that sky.

Summicron, this is truly spectacular!  The time of the ultimate moment in a sunset is so fleeting and you caught it just right.   :thumbsup:

Wonderful and colorful sunset!!! :)

What kinda camera and lens do you use? I have a 200-500 Tamron and it takes the photos best using a tripod, although handheld can be suitable!

This shot was made using a 400mm Sigma lens on an Olympus Om1 on a Manfrotto tripod, I believe they're retailed under the name Bogen in the USA.
