About I now have my new camera and have been experimenting to see how to best use its functions. For this, taken July 24, 2007, I used a lens which gave me a total of 18 times optical zoom. The hills on the other side of the lake are not crisply detailed as it was a hazy day. (Although, as they are about 10 miles away, I am not sure if my camera could define them on even the clearest of days. Next clear day, I might try to see the difference.) However, it is the haze that allows us to see the Sun set as this lovely, large, red ball.

Wooooohooooo MAry You've got a Great Big Ball of fire in the sky there :))
This is beautiful dear ..just a lovely view and I don't even care if it is natural or not - I love it !!!
Best wishes,
Michele~


Mary Brown   {K:67759} 7/28/2007
Hi Michelle. This most definately is natural. The last couple of days have been very hazy and we have enjoyed this kind of sunset. I did touch up the contrast and saturation a bit, but other than that, this is exactly as it was seen.
MAry


Michele Carlsen   {K:122895} 7/28/2007
WoW MAry how beautiful and thank YOu for telling it is natural -- a good reason to for-go some sleep :))


Gary Dyck   {K:11843} 7/28/2007
Ahhh yes, those lazy hazy days of summer in Ontario. Out in the west it seems the haze is very often smoke from forest fires somewhere. A very pleasing shot here, Mary. Nice little dab of colour in the upper left corner. Cheers, Gary:)


Alicia Popp   {K:82240} 7/28/2007
Genial... una estupenda imagen nos muestras!!!
Felicitaciones, Mary!!!

Rachel Leah   {K:24704} 7/28/2007
Yeah, this is a cool shot! I love it! Great work capturing the sun in that position right over the hills! Looks awesome! Nice work :)
~Rachel~


Del Metheny   {K:25336} 7/28/2007
Congrats on your new camera and you are off to a good start. Not often can you film directly into the sun unless shaded some way. The haze lets you see the entire sun including its sharp edge outline. Itis a beautiful shot. Del.

Oh, Mary, I love the beautiful pastels of this, and your perfect composition. So many want to put the sun dead center, but you have placed it perfectly!:)

Hi Mary,
Gorgeous shot,Wonderful lighting and the colours are so soft and delicate. Love it!!

PS. I use the Canon S3 with telephoto lens and that gives me 18 times zoom. I am very happy with my little camera and I'm sure you will be too:)

Beautiful shot Mary. The blue tones of the hills with the bright orange sun make the photograph nicely balanced and dramatic. Well done.

reza.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30021} 8/4/2007
This is a cool shot -- I like the big orange of a sun against the blue overtones throughout. It ends up with a painterly feel. By the way, I got reminded of you on the frog pic on display on the home page as I made a comment right after yours. Hadn't read yours before making mine. We both said the same thing about that frog: "Cute," although I went on to say how just saying "cute" wouldn't do the image justice. Please know that I cringed when I read your comment because it looks as though was insinuating that you hadn't said enough. Your comment was just right. Good to see you are still here my friend. Antonia


Walter Scarella   {K:17231} 8/4/2007
Excellent landscape with delicate colours and perfect light. Great composition !

It’s so surreal :) You done excellent work as usual ,Mary, haze does some of the most surreal views, last year on August was in Michigan (no camera) had visual breath taken fire ball super size moon rising ...never seeing before. Did cry of not having my gear :):):)
Cheers, Mary!
Harry

John Hatz   {K:138159} 8/7/2007
Excellent sunset, great the contrast and the clear shape of the sun as only the sun has hot tones and roundly the sky looks in deep colors, and cold...that must be because of a soft cloud there, the result is a great and unique sunset Mary, absolutely excellent the result with very good mood!


Fakhra O.   {K:6187} 8/7/2007
beautiful landscape and great colors.
i like how the hills show in this photo.
congrats on your new toy :)
regards
Fakhra


Mary Brown   {K:67759} 8/8/2007
Hi Harry. It is interesting that since I got my camera, I feel incomplete if I don't have it with me. A few years ago, I would never have guessed that that would be so. Now, it is like you, if I see something that really catches my eye and I don't have my camera, I am disappointed. I guess the moral is to keep our cameras attached to us.
MAry


Mary Brown   {K:67759} 8/8/2007
Hi Antonia. Don't worry about the comments, my friend. Absolutely no offense taken. Sometimes we have time to make more detailed comments than at other times. I check back to your portfolio hoping you have begun posting again as I really love the emotion you display in your images. Maybe some new ones soon?
MAry

Robert Chin   {K:20082} 9/29/2007
Congrats on the new camera Mary.
The haze sure adds to the moodiness as the sun sets not in it`s typical 'blaze but a more subdue colors.
Take care
Robbie

Wonderful colors and capture of the sun set. The water is well defined and I love the layering of the hills due to the haze. Alison
