So, a friend of a friend has a 42 foot yacht.... and we had a little fun on the weekend. The weather couldn't have been better, and mother nature put on a show for us... Needless to say I took tons of pics...but here's a few of my favorites:

    great sunsets! I got some last evening. So different from yours. Yours are peaceful. I get the feeling from mine that my city and surrounding areas are at war.

    I am trying to learn how saturated, and how contrasty a sunset should be. I like yours. I contrasted mine up for pop, as advised. Then I looked in a book by a famous current working photographer in this area. His were not super contrasty.

    I have been saying all day that the more I learn the less I know.

    yours are, as I said, wonderful.

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Thank you for your kind comments, ginger. The contrast thing is indeed something that I am struggling with too. I played with the saturation on these for a long time before I was happy, and then I realized that they were barely any different from the originals.

    Nice shots. But dood...you've got a dirty sensor. See the dark spots in the sky? I'm kinda sensitive to it right now.

    Hmmm... hadn't noticed that before....thanks for pointing it out. It'll be my first time having to clean it.. I'm sure it will be an adventure. From everything I've read...it seems I just need to make sure I have a full charge in the battery, put the camera in sensor clean mode, and use a puffer thingy to gently blow on the exposed sensor.. Does that sound about right?
