The guy flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he's from Canada . He goes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf, so when he flies we hold our hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist. Enjoy!
You must watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite! I would have those kites so tangled up, you could never get them separated again! And of course, make sure the volume is turned up because the music is wonderful and totally reflects the soaring of the kites. Beautiful!

Have you considered paying the other man's ticket to make the issue go away?
I used the same link that Katie Mae has in her post.

I just checked and it is still available.

Without a sample I can only guess as to what went wrong.
If your white balance was in auto then the camera would try to make the sky white and it would wash out the sunset.
Try setting your white balance manually, a starting point would 5000-6000 degrees K. This will be a daylight white balance setting and the sky should be more red.
Good Luck.

My understanding is that unlike a conventional rangefinder the EVF allows the user to see exactly what the image is that is coming thru the lens and what will fall on the sensor and it eliminates the small parallax errors introduced with the separate optical viewfinder.
I have four Slick tripods, 3 U-212s and 1 U-112.
After looking at the heads on the 212, I am able to see a clamp that has one half threaded and the other half is a clearance hole to allow the threaded portion of the handle to pass through.
This is pretty standard design across many manufactures.
My Bogans, Leitz Tiltall, Gitzo, plus the lesser knowns all share the same design.
I suspect that the threaded portion of the clamp is stripped and would be repairable with the proper sized "Heli-Coil but the machine shop charges would be high enough to make this an approach not advised.
The cost would most likely exceed the value of the tripod by several times and would also exceed the cost of a new tripod of similar quality and function.

The lights are most likely Fluorescent.
When using daylight balanced film under Fluorescent lights there are a number of colors that can be reduced with the proper filter.
You might try one of these and re-take the exposure.
