I'm still amazed at how well the cheap 50mm F/1.8 performs.

I love the "nifty-fifty"! For this sort of work the low-light slow focus isn't a problem - don't you agree? How do you like your 18-55 for these kinds of shots? For all the criticism it gets, I find it to be a pretty good lens for some uses.

I don't even carry my 18-55 around anymore. It butchers colors and contrast like no other.

Not nearly as good as the others here. I have no idea how you get it so the blown out sun doesn't dominate the image so much:

One idea that comes to mind would be a ND filter - would that help?

The other would be to wait until the sun is a bit lower in the sky.

I'll be interested to see what others with more experience will suggest.

personally, I like it. An ND filter will only help so much. The only hot spot is on the water, anyways. I really love the colors and mist. If you wanted to and have the raw files, you can probably lower the exposure and up the gamma on the water where the sun hit it, but to a certain extent. Otherwise, it's good. If anything, I would change the crop so that you could either see the sun or not see it at all, as it stands it seems like you can see the lower part of it just peeking into the frame.

Here's one taken from our back yard. Just ignore the shrubs and houses. I was after the colors in the clouds.

I like all 3 but #3 really stands out from the rest. The colors you captured are amazing.
