The perfect combination for a majestic sky.

I'm really proud of that. Although all credit goes for Nature.
Thank you so much for your kind comment.

I am beginning to understand multiple exposures, I can see the appeal and the result's. But I was not prepared for result's like the above shot.
What can I say as a novice photographer on a constructive/technical basis..... not a lot yet!

However, as an appreciator of most artforms, I can comment very well and confidently informed.
your "spring sunset" image has a biblical sky, with the most beautiful and unique sunsetting light which I have seen over many sunset images.

The hdr is very sympathetically done, and the entire composition is beautifully presented to the viewer.

I for one am in awe........... sincerely well done to YOU.

Thank you very much for such kind and supportive comment, my friend.
It was indeed a remarkable sky with so many color layers that I must agree it was somewhat biblical, like you said. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Doesn't happen everyday but it's quite usual during that time of year, in that region of Brazil. I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for commenting.

HDR não é fácil não. Tenho vindo a 'brincar' com isso ao longo dos ultimos anos e os resultados são mistos. Mas lá sai uma ou outra que me impressiona. Aqui merecia um HDR, sem cores extremas mas que mostrasse bem a complexidade deste céu. Resultou numa imagem interessante, eu acho.
Obrigado pelo comment.

pois... é mesmo praticar
já agora, que programa usas para o HDR?

Miguel-Santos In reply to knifass [2011-11-17 04:02:26 +0000 UTC]

Oi Carlos. Uso principalmente o Photomatix, mas sempre faço ajustes com o PS ou Gimp. E o HDR tem o problema de ruído na imagem - por vezes dá muito trabalho só pra corrigir isso. Tem vários programas gratuitos para HDR, vale a pena pesquisar.

Great panorama shot. Such an interesting sky to look at and the silhouetted trees finish the shot off perfectly. Nice work.

Miguel-Santos In reply to AfroDeziac [2011-11-12 19:38:27 +0000 UTC]

It was just another great moment Nature shared with us. Those complex skies are amazing.
And I was really happy with the silhouette framing by the trees. Glad you like it too.
Thanks a lot for the comment.

The sky is just extraordinary. The range of purples and the red glow off the sun are so appealing. I also like the silhouettes of the trees. Great work!

I still have to improve some aspects about my HDR techniques. I might get a look at this again in the future.

It happens quite often in that region. I mean a cloudy sky like that. It's harder to find a clear sky with red/blue/purple tones, but it also happens from time to time.

Thank you so much. I had a lot of pleasure making this picture and nothing is as rewarding as your words. Of course, I cannot take credit for Nature's work, which amazes me so often. But I'm so glad you commented.
