Nice sunset

Not a bad day today - bloody cold though. Maybe it won't be too bad taking delivery of a boat in the winter....

Brilliant pictures

Nice sunset? - there's a classic British understatement. I'd say that that is a spectacular sunset!!! What camera & settings did you use?

codprawn · 13 November 2005, 19:48

Panasonic Lumix FZ 20 - got to be the best camera for the money EVER - all because of it's 12x optical Leica zoom with image stabilization built in - equiv 35 - 420mm zoom and most important - CONSTANT F2.8 all the way through!!!

Having said that most of these shots were on normal zoom settings. Set ISO to 50 and EV -1/3 for better colour saturation.

The shutter speeds were pretty low but the image stabilisation is brilliant.

The camera does really well into the sun - no whiting out or pixelisation.

HAving said all that thougH it was the sunset itself that REALLY made it - looks like it was taken in the tropics - in reality it was Burry Port near swansea and was just 2 C - brrrr

Great picture of gwithian. We've spent many hours on the beach there. Loved it.

randski · 13 November 2005, 20:09

Hope to launch from Hayle next year and explore Gwithian from the water

Another fine Welsh Sunset, Broad Haven looking out onto St Brides Bay. This was taken on the first day I used my first digital camera ( Canon A70 ). Have tried many times since and haven't managed to capture a better image.

Spose I'd better put Scotland on the map.

Day and night.

codprawn · 13 November 2005, 23:37

Just look at the colour of that water!!! Bit different to the Windsor soup that the Bristol Channel is made of!!!

jwalker · 13 November 2005, 23:54

Yeh, cool eh....literally

Stick the 3 pics together.

JW, that sunset pic is absolutely amazing. A couple of these had been posted on previous threads, but these were the best sunset pics I managed to take over the last few months.
