Default Seve Sins in sunset

Photographers Comments
This was a difficult shot to get as the boat was moving quite a bit and I was on a dingy communicationg with the captain by radio to get the position right - it is also amazing how quick the sun goes down when you need it to stay where it is a bit.

Nice angle and the sky make the image quite attractive. But it was a pity the sun is blown out. I am facing this problem too and don't know how to overcome it. Also, the horizontal level is a bit tilted. Thanks for sharing.

Set the cam to bracket exposures and keep the pinky down. Sling it in p/shop and you have the best of both worlds. Feel funny commenting on yer pics mate. Granny suck eggs syndrome. You know the answers...its putting them to the right questions.
You are a fine photog.. (Nrs paid me to say that )
