Sunset at Cloudland Canyon by soboy5

Sunset at Cloudland Canyon

My son Jake expressed an interest in learning fine art photography so I've been giving him photography lessons. He's catching on quickly, and he captured this magnificent sunset on a recent hike to Cloudland Canyon State Park. I did the post processing on this one as we have not started lessons in post yet.

@gooner46 Thanks, Chris. Jake has been taught composition first - we've been working on that for the last six months. We just started learning the exposure triangle last week. After he masters exposure, I will teach him how to post process. For this image, I cropped the original, applied a velvia filter, added a bit of saturation, contrast and sharpness and then finished it with a graduated neutral density filter. Pretty much the same thing I do to all my images.
