In the beginning God created the light. Without it not much else matters to a photographer.

A lot of photoshop, would be my guess. Why would you want to make it look so fabulously unreal? Sometimes I don't get the photoshop thing. Did you manipulate just cause you can, or did you have a purpose? I guess I just prefer it to be used as a tool to enhance, instead of completely change a photo. To completely change a photo, is more of a special effects then an enhancement, in my opinion. There is too much good stuff in the world to want to do special effects for me.

Thanks for the reply's.
And k you would be wrong, It has not been touched. It is straight out of my old Sony DSC 707. Their wasn't much light, and I exposed on an element in the sky. Hence the dark foreground.
Again thanks.

I saw no PS artifacts. It does look like a sunset though! I exposed for the sky on this one to give it a similar look. This was done in broad daylight!

I've done shots like this in Seal Beach. I came to the pier one afternoon and started playing with exposure and time. I found that I could set the camera up for manual exposure and take a test shot or two to check for correct exposure. Then I just speed the shutter by two or three stops for the same effect. I did this from about an hour before sunset all the way to sunset while I kept varying the shutter. I got some nice shots, and some not so realistist shots like yours. That said, I don't think it was very kind to test (embarrase) people like you did. Although, you may not have done it on purpose, I feel that it probably did embarras a couple of people.

You are a bad, bad man, unclebo! And at 5.45 on a dark morning i am shaking with laughter and spilling my coffee. Heck, I need IS or VS on my coffee mug with jokesters like you around!

I love this thread. Nice shot too. I don't know how many people I have heard complain that they can't get the color and when you ask them when they shoot they tell you something like "well... I get out about 9:30 in the morning..." or I'm in by 6 ot7" . Well, if you shoot in fat midday light you get flat photos. Good job. A bit of advise for the newbies out there, get up early, sleep in the middle of the day and get back up for the evening;-).
By the way, I see nothing unreal about this shot. I have be out many at a time in the early morn or late afternoon and seen skies much like this. Makes you very glad that you are alive. If you do see skies like this from time to time then you serious need to move to somewhere else. I remember a sunset while on a evening walk in southern California that to this day I ask myself 'how can it be so beautiful?'
Thanks Unclebo you have made my day. Keep up the good work.

Nice shot, like the vivid colors. Impressive that no PS - looks like HDR.
No, I've both seen and done a lot of HDR and HDR doesn't look near that good. There is a difference between jump out at edits and just beautiful images. How often to you see an HDR that make you think "I wish that I was there".

I'm not really all that impressed with the photo. Just another sunrise (sunset). A bit underexposed at that

Underexposed is a somewhat subject matter as is much in photography and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Having seen hundreds of such sunrises, I would tend to say the exposure is correct. Sorry that you fail to see the beauty. It does not have to be grand or exceptional to be truly beautiful, else it would a sad world. :-)

Doesn't using any editor indicate that the user was not satisfoed with the original? If so, why not make a few minor changes to WB, ISO, or a whole host of other adjustments depending on your ccamera? I find editors akin to any other crutch we rely on to make a change. Maybe we should put more thought into taking the photo in the first place, or pushing the shutter a few more times with Exposure Compensation variables applied
Just a thought on a rainy Sunday in Ohio.

OK I'll bite. I would guess either not at all or very little. Why did you post the question?
