Title: Tomichi Colors
Post by: MattBurt on February 14, 2018, 01:04:11 pm

Some nice colors at sunset last week at the local creek (and one of my closest landscape photo locations for when I don't have a lot of time).
This was one of those sunsets that might be "too good" to seem realistic in photos. But it was very real and lasted a long time too!

All 3 are outstanding, realistic or not.

I like the water in #3. The colours are great in all of them.

For me, I love big, bold colors. Very nice. #2 stands out as a favorite.  :)

Great shots and beautiful colors. They all look real to me.

It's the third one for me, although on my machine the highlights do look a little blown out in that third one, but that is probably more likely to be a problem at my end rather than in the picture I think.

I just like the closer in view of the third shot, as it seems to suit the subject detail a little more and as a result the composition feels more 'comfortable' to me.

Thanks (to you and all the commenters), it was close with a little speck of truly blown highlights and also a few specks of clipped blacks so I used the full DR of the 645D here. The yellow is a little hot but not completely blown so if it looks that way then it could be your setup combined with the almost blown nature of those highlights.
