Sunsets

I think as a new photographer, everyone has taken pictures of sunsets.  Sunsets are always fun to photograph because they have a nice range of colors.  I took this one from my driveway.  Well, its not one, but multiple pictures stitched together.

I burned the photo a bit in photoshop to black out the trees and roof tops, this also brought out a deep blue on the left half of the photo.  This is one of my favorite sunset photos.  The other cool thing about sunsets is they are pretty easy to photograph.  They have plenty of light, so you can use a pretty narrow aperture (f setting on your camera) to get everything in focus without worrying too much about your focus point.  Along with the light thing, you can also use a low ISO number to reduce noise, and a fast shutter to avoid any blurring caused by shaky hands.
This one I took at Tempe Town Lake in Arizona.  Arizona is blessed with amazing sunsets pretty much year round.

Well thats all for this post. Thanks again!
