Landscape - 7

@Stu: Thanks Stu =D)

@Shaahin: I'm guessing by the winks that you are being sarcastic, so I will take that as a back handed compliment =D) If tou really do think the composition could be improved (and it probably could with a little foreground interest) then let me know how!

@MadScientist: Thanks =D) the landscape section will be only a small section of my website, you will be seeing all the images if you hang around here =D) Landsscapes ar my favourite pictures to make but there is more money in weddings and portraits!

@Tracey: Ha ha! It was actually quite chilly, that is the beauty of a sunset filter =D) Although I was pretty hot and sweaty because I'd been tramping around the island all day in my motorbike leathers and carrying all my camera equipment - so perhaps this wa a reflection of my inner landscape =D)

@saeeda: Thanks! =D)

@Laurie: Thanks - I was using a pretty strong sunset filter, rendering the image almost monochrome but I do love how this has turned out =D)

@Peter Miller: That 'Ahhh yes' is just the reaction I was hoping for =D) thanks Peter!

@amy: Thanks Amy =D)

@yiannis krikis: Thanks Yannis =D) I like that phrase 'burning landscape'.

@Betty: Thanks Betty - that was all the filter's doing =D)

@Ina: Thanks! =D)

@Graham Russon: Thanks Graham, I appreciate that =D)

@paulski: Thanks for all the kind words =D)

@danthro: Hey thanks danthro. I use Cokin filters. A sunset filter is a piece of square glass/plastic which is transparent but has been coloured a deep orange to simulate the colours you expect form a sunset. You place it into a bracket which holds it in front of the lens (you can also get ones that screw into your lens or rear mounted gels that slot in behind the real lens element). The one I was using was particularly stong but you can get different grades. The effect can be simulated in Photoshop.

@Irwansyah Sk3tchw!nd: Thanks! =D)

@MaryB: Thanks Mary =D)

@DarkElf: Thank you =D)

@pLusOne: Don't worry, its not actually the end of the world =D)

@Lorraine: Lol! Nice play on words. If the end of the world is really going to be as beautiful as that sunset was then bring it on lol!

@Eleftheria, 9 years old,: Thanks =D)
