A suggestion to make yr pic even nicer. Take the same angle at different time of the day to make it into a series...

Bro, did you meter off the Sun, the Sun was totally blown up?  Either use a ND or Gradual filter to cut the f-stop of the sky. Don't worry about the foreground as lond as it is not super exposed, you are still able to bring up some details using the Dodge and Burn tool in CS2. |

oh...actually i did took quite a number of shots of different exposure...I am not sure which exposure is the best for sunset....will upload them here once I get them sort out... The best way to shoot Sunset with nice foreground would be : 1) Use a Gradual filter, strength at least 4 and onwards, to cut down the f-stop while maintaining the foreground. Cokin or Lee Gradual filter is highly recommended. The latter is very expensive due to the glass material. Do not use ND filter as you will affect the foreground as well. 2) Double exposure. Take a photo without the Sun, i.e. before Sunset. After which, take another shot with the Sun, i.e. during Sunset (underexposed it so that you can see the egg-yoke shape of the Sun). Finally, Merge the 2 photos together. |
