After the amazing and slightly strangely fantastic weather we've had this week we went on a short stroll to Chichester Harbour to see the sunset. No clouds which took some of the interest away from the setting sun but the colour was brilliant and the air very clear so it was a worthwhile trip.
It looks as though I've failed (well and truly) the New Year's resolution of updating this once a fortnight. The last update was back in February so that makes me a bit crap.
Anyway, I've had a lot of good feedback from a sunset picture of Bosham I took a while back.
So i thought it would be fun to have a go at using some of the same techniques again and trying to see if I can improve on what I did then. The composition's a bit different here, with the picture of the boat in Bosham I had a bit of foreground interest but less so with these pictures. I also found that the foreground was nearly as bright as the sky in this set which meant I used the graduated filter a bit less.
They're all shot in RAW which how I normally shoot anyway now and using the trusty Sigma 24-70mm EX DG. I stopped out to f8 for these as well which is becoming my standard landscape setting, it seems to get the best out of the lens.
This is much the same photo but I think this has a bit more going for it and I'm a bit more fond of it, it shows the harbour a bit more by including more of the boats and buoys and general harbour gubbins.
