Wow nirofo,

You can feel the chill in the air and 'hear' the silence of the land muffled with snow.

love it

Both fantastic pics. Can you imagine if they were made into jigsaws, how frustrating it would be to do.....?[lol]
Sunsets are my favourite, bring them on guys.....:)

It's coming soon - winter evening sunsets. :cool:

It looked good with its collection of photos, but when seen with the fantastic photos above, it just does not compare.

This is the weakest of the lot, I think it's a nice photo in its own right especially for a mobile phone pic, but doesn't have the resolution of a proper camera.

I'm looking forward to some superb winter sunsets!

Hello emb123, Nope you're wrong. This is potentially one of the best photos in this section. If only you had had a 'proper' camera with you there is no knowing just how this shot might have turned out. Go to the middle of the pic and look up at the cloud formation - excellent. You can even pick out the sunbeams. I bet with a bit of tweaking (I don't like to 'tweak' photos usually) you could really bring out those rays. There is a lack of clarity because of the resolution, but better to have this photo than none at all - it does show the great potential of the moment. I'd put this in a frame on my wall.:cool:

Only surpassed by deemac's 'skies of death and destruction' above - these would make good backgrounds for Quake or Unreal Tournament. Superbe.

Tweaked as suggested by psyberyeti. It is a little burnt out though.

emb123 - hope you don't mind!!:D (It is a nice shot)

Don't worry about the slight burn out, it adds to the overall effect anyway! Great image by the way.

I was looking back to find something and discovered that I had missed this developing thread - I was exchanging PM's and forgot about the actual thread. I love Deemac's treatment of the photo. It looks really good.:cool:

Hello Anne x, I was not ignoring you, I just lost the thread.:~( The photo is on the A864 between Bettyhill and Tongue, I think it's Loch Crocach, looking south.:cool:

Deemac - I have been so offline for ages. Just spotted this - I love the treatment it looks really brilliant. Wish I were as good with photoshop!

As I'm about to move, I'm really going to miss Farr Bay and these gorgeous sunsets. Will just have to find new things to photograph in Wick!

Some great sunset photos in this thread.

Deemac I particularly like your ones from Tuesday 02 October 2007 looking towards Thurso - it's really dramatic.

Here's one of my favourite sunset photos. It was taken about 15 years ago.

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/astroman_caithness/WaterySunset-StrathyPointSutherland.jpg

The photo was taken at Strathy Point with an ultrabasic point and click 35mm film camera (cost about £10), so to say I was pleasantly surprised by the result would be an understatement :grin:

Anyone got favourites they'd like to share?
