Canterbury Plains on Fire
May 6, 2013 08:49:27 #
Sunset over the Canterbury Plains with farmer's burn offs visible I took this on a warm Nor' West evening from the Port Hills above Christchurch NZ I am quite pleased with the result. I like how the fiery sunset compliments the burning paddocks. Camera Sony Nex7 with Tamron 18-200 @42mm
One of six exposures used to create the the image below (I cropped it a little more than neccesary)
Combined 6 images ran them through Photomatics imported back into lightroom -100 highlights, luminance smoothing 29, Shadows +74, Blacks +100

See? Everybody is different. Even though it doesn't look real, I'm liking it!

Well done! I like the bright flashy colors and long strings of color at the horizon. About the only comment I can offer is that the horizon line is centered, it would be more dramatic if it were moved to a slightly lower position in the frame.

I'm with Amersfoort, it looks too unreal for my liking, but it's just a personal preference. I don't like the bright blue of a lot of the foreground elements. It is a gorgeous photo though, I'd love to see a more subtle processing of it.
