Yet another sunset



Another sunset shot taken on our holiday in Jamaica earlier this year, walking back up the hill from the beach. This is an example of how software can rescue a shot which would have been very difficult to pull off on film: by flattening the dynamic range we can keep detail in the darkest parts of the image without washing out the highlights in the sky (which is a bit like what our brains do to the image captured on our retinas). I hope it doesn't look too unnatural (I don't think so).

Details: Nikon D70, 18-70mm @ 18mm, f/10, 1/60s, ISO 200. Treasure Beach, Jamaica, 22 February 2006.
