Sunset at Huntington Pier

Yet another shot from the 365 Orange County meetup. We were treated to an amazing sunset. I broke out the wide angle lens for this one. You can see the gang posing in front of this sunset in Louise and Ken's @Weezilou album here: http://365project.org/Weezilou/album-excess/2016-01-27 and Elizabeth's @redy4et version, which is SOOC here: http://365project.org/redy4et/365/2016-01-27. Unlike Elizabeth I "doctored" the shot - but just a little!

Beautiful WIDE angle of the pier and the spectacular sunset Ron! The pier in silhouette accentuates the sky colors!

[Dayle]

Stunning colours Ron. Great shot!

[Louise & Ken]

Love love love love love + ♥♥♥♥♥!!!! My dear sweet Ken was trying to tell my my big Nikon lens can capture almost the same thing... *almost* is a pretty vague term when it comes to this! Wowser! Now THIS is what I want everyone to see!

[Louise & Ken]

Those nice light posts...this what we discussed?

[Denise Wood]

Terrific capture :)

[Peter]

As the saying goes " red sky at night shepherds delight" and this is a delightful image, wonderful colours, patterns and composition with nice symmetry of the lighting columns leading the eye into the image, Fav, Happy Birthday Ron it's that time in life to look on these as not getting older just getting wiser:)

[Pam Knowler]

Wonderful image Ron!! Great processing!! Happy birthday by the way - sounds like you had a great celebration!!

[Poppo Livy]

Could not see the gang at all until I went to black. Amazing the difference it makes.

[K1W1]

STUNNING Ron. I love the colours!!

[Babs]

Love the symmetry of this shot and the colours are fantastic.

[maree_sanderson]

a real eye popper...great on black

[Jo]

Stunning colours.

[Rosie Kerr]

What a show-stopper of a sunset... gorgeous colors. Lovely lines in the pier, too. Nice!

[❀Christina ❀]

Beautiful

[Joss]

Stunning shot, I like horizontal lines, and movement of clouds blur

[Louise & Ken]

@Pillango35 THAT's the wide angle lens we all covet!

[Joy's Focus]

OMG! What a Happy Birthday sunset! I'm sorry I missed that sordid soiree.
Fav! And I do prefer the enhanced colors. So vibrant!

[Ron]

@redy4et Thanks Elizabeth. We did get lucky this evening with that sunset.

[Ron]

@dayle Thank you Dayle.

[Ron]

@Weezilou Yeah, I thought my 28mm was wide enough, but, whoa, the difference between 14mm and 28mm is massive. I don't recall what the light post question was?

[Ron]

@pcoulson Ha ha, I like that attitude. Thanks for the comments and the birthday wishes Peter.

[Ron]

@pamknowler Thanks so much Pam. Yes, we had a very nice time. It was a memorable way to spend a day...and a birthday!

[Ron]

@terryliv Thanks Terry, you started something with the black suggestion. Thanks for the tip!

[Ron]

@k1w1 Thanks Christine. I appreciate it!

[Ron]

@onewing Thank you kindly Babs.

[Ron]

@maree_sanderson Thanks so much Maree!

[Ron]

@joeymc Thanks Jo, colors by higher powers, enhancement by me!

[Ron]

@rosiekerr Thank you very much Rosie!

[Ron]

@Pillango35 Thanks Christina. Glad to have your comments.

[Ron]

@jossette Thanks very much Joss!

[Ron]

@joysfocus Ha, I knew YOU'D like the enhanced colors Joy! Thanks. Sorry you missed - you'd have done wonders with this opportunity.

[Tatiana]

Замечательно! Красивые краски!

[Louise & Ken]

We'd spoken of "straightening perspective" a couple of ways in RAW or using transform. Just wondered if you'd done a little of either.

[MrsVanPatten]

Stunning capture, beautiful light, and, silhouette!!!!! Yes I have major lens envy, this is proof enough that I too need a wide angle.

[Ron]

@Weezilou Ah, OK, now I understand. Actually I didn't have to do anything regarding any transformation in this one, and now that I think about it I'm a little surprised at that! It's probably a little crooked now that I look at that part of it - just makes it more real. Maybe the influence from the Fujifilm kicked in - it has a little horizon in the EFV that really helps in those situations.
