Sunset over Land

said: And, yes, photoshop'ed to brighten the foreground (maybe preempting you,?). The original is here. [link]
Not too sure if I like it that way though - with the foreground being an apartment building, it's naturally busy compared to the sky. Personally, I prefer that my photos are clean and simple, so exposing the busy-ness of the building is a bit strange to me.

said: Yeah, in the case of this picture, I think it would have been fine to leave the foreground dark, since it's not as interesting as the construction site. I do love the sky, though. Orange is off and on my favorite color, and people just don't appreciate it. D| But it looks so pretty, especially in this sky. The shades are amazing, and mix well with the blues and purples. I like the pastels the best, near the top.

And, yeah, I actually like the original better. 8D

Figures you'd like the original better.


Anyway, I figure the problem with orange is that it's just so seemingly common - you get it in sunsets every day, and commonly it's more of an annoyance when it shines in your eyes, and neat/cool sunsets don't come around often. That's my take on it at least.

said: That photo was only brightened in photoshop - not the sunset, just the foreground. The sunset is what it was really like. (It was amazing... the whole sky lit up in varying shades of orange.) I don't really edit my photos - or try not to. Eventually they would become digital art, not photography. :wink:

Also, there the fact that I don't really know that much about photoshop... What I do know is from tutorials and books. And, again, like with the camera, messing around. |D
