Sunset Fisherman

[GBO25]

A fisherman sets out along this spit as the tide falls at sunset. This is Moreton Bay at Scarborough just north of Brisbane, Australia.

Very good Graham, they say it's the best time to fish here but it's never worked for me

Nicely proportioned.

Nice capture.

I like the composition very much, if it was mine I would choose a yellow color close to orange in the sky instead of pure yellow

Nice image, but it looks rather bright out. Not what one would expect at sunset.

I must admit when I increased the vibrance the sunset colour did go a bit too yellow. I've tried a hue/saturation mask to try toning it back down and making a little more red but haven't yet succeeded.

Manfred at the latitude where Brisbane sits sunsets happen quite quickly with almost no twilight. For instance today the sun sets here at 18:35 and last light is at 19:02. This was taken looking almost due north about fifteen minutes before the sun hit the horizon out of shot to the left while the light was still quite bright but the sunset colours were beginning to show.

Thanks. We certainly get a much longer sunsets up this way.

Hi Graham HSL sliders in Lightroom/ACR or Selective Color Adjustment layer in PS might be helpful for yellows.

Hey Grahame....I like the perspective of this shot. What lens did you use?

Hi Binnur, I don't have Lightroom or PS, only Elements. I've done a bit more adjusting on a Hue/Saturation layer in Elements and have improved it quite a bit I think.

Izzie it was a Canon EF-S 15-85 at 15mm on a crop frame EOS 70D

I like the comoposition, Graham, but the colours in the sky seem a bit odd to me - even for Queensland. I wonder if that is because you used a vibrance adjustment rather than saturation? I think vibrance does little to warm tones and is preferred for shots with skin tones because saturation tends to give flesh too much red. But for a sunset, that may be what you need.

Yep, you're right Greg. I've done a bit more adjusting and think I've improved it. In fact it's closer to what it looked like although a little darker.
