Lake Sunset

4 years 10 months ago #646702 by New but trying




This was tough to capture with my D3300 because I could not get the greenery properly exposed without completely overexposing the sky. This was my attempt to underexpose everything and recover some detail. The first shot was done through the in-built panorama mode, which worked out pretty decently (though it only saves as a JPEG). The second is a normal still cropped to 16:9.

Nice set. I like the second shot better though because of the road leading the eyes to the sunset. Good composition here.

Both looks good. I'm also using my D3300 so I understand your problem with exposure. But it worked out well for this photo I think. Only critique I could say is that in the second photo you should try to put the horizon in either the upper or lower third. Otherwise good job, especially with the D3300! :)

Can you try a lower crop for the second shot?
