Sunset Over the Prairies

[Geoff_Shawcross]

Here is a picture I took near Elkwater, Alberta, Canada in the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park just before the sun hit the horizon.

The exposure was 1/60s, at ISO 200, with my kit lens at 55mm, f/5.6, plus I used a warming filter (81B I think), and a CPL filter.

And yes, the landscape was very similar to this without the filter, just a little bit less orange. :)

Hmm.....It seems this thread has become lost, as no one seems to have noticed it.

Oh well. :rolleyes:

Not sure how it appears on your screen, but its very red on mine!!

Well, there is some red in there, alot of orange too. The reds show up near the bottom, and it get more towards the orange further up you go. Also gets lighter. The landscape (excluding the sky) should have a firey orange red to it. The sky should apear to have light orange and yellow shades.

For me it wasn't just the lanscape that made the picture, but the colours.
