    Sunset

    I think we haven't been having very powerful sunsets recently where I live, because the angle of the sun is different in hot summer months. This time I used my Cullmann tabletop tripod and it was easier to shoot without putting my camera on the rocks . Thank you very much John 2 for suggesting this tripod, it really works fine and carries my camera with a wide angle lens without any problems

    The rocks in the foreground are much smaller in fact and I understood once more how a wide angle lens made foreground objects bigger

    C&C are appreciated as always.

    PS I think 'Rocks at sunset' would be a better title

    Very nice Binnur, wonderful colours a very peaceful image.
    Perhaps just a little lightening of the right hand rock in the foreground to reveal a bit more detail. Just a personal opinion
    Cheers mate, Greg

    I lightened the right hand rock a little bit as Greg suggested. What do you think? IMO it is a bit distracting this way.

    Hi Binnur. The change is subtle enough so as to be personal taste. Great image depth created by the wide angle lens placed low to the foreground. Nice!

    Thank you Frank. The more I use my wide angle lens, the more I learn about it. As next step, I will try to shoot some buildings with it to see the effect

    Nice image Binnur. Like the comp very much. Might be worth backing off the magenta in the FG just a bit (white stone).

    Hi John, Cullmann mini tripod helps a lot indeed, thanks again I'm glad that you liked the image. I will try to fix the white stone.

    Very nice composition and execution on this image Binnur. A great example on how to shoot with an ultra-wide angle lens.

    One thing you might want to try. The rocks themselves are back-lit, so the details are a bit difficult to make out. You might want to consider dodging them a bit to lighten them up a touch to reveal more detail.

    Great job Binnur. You've turned what was probably a fairly ordinary scene into something special. The image has a lovely mood to it. We'll done.

    Re: Sunset

    Thank you Manfred. Dodging the rocks partially might be good idea , because IMO the image would lose the mood if the rocks were totaly brightened
