POTM [04/08] Sunset over PTA

All are fantastic.

#5 is the easiest on the eye, very nice indeed.

 

Thank you so much for the comments guys, appreciated

 

I like the last one of that sun/cloud set you posted. You can enter two pics into the POTM contest, you should do one of both the first set (canyon) and the last set (sun cloud)!

 

I missed this until I saw your entry on the potm site. WOW. How did you get that gradient with the kit lens? I can actually see the stars in the very top of the picture, but a blinding sun at the bottom. Can you walk me through the post process, if any? And post the original? I've NEVER seen a gradient like that naturally and it just looks fantastic. So either I need to move to your house, or you need to tell us how you got that!

 

Hi Da Dego! Thanks so much for the words! I really appreciate the comments

Here is the original per your request next to the processed one



I tried to retrace my steps in Photoshop today, seems that I did the Auto Levels function, and then I did some Brightness/Contrast changes, lowered the Brightness and upped the Contrast. That's about it.

And about the stars, I really can't see any, I think you have some dirt on your monitor

Thanks once again You made my day a LOT better!
