Wow, Pierre--you caught one for sure! What a beautiful sky. Like golden velvet. Gorgeous, and one of the prettier ones I've seen. Glad you were there with the camera!

Hi Randy
Here's the same scene, shot a minute earlier, with the HDR on "off"' this time, and, again with no PP -- big difference, and, in one sense overexposed.
With the big exception of the change to in-camera HDR, all settings were the same.

about a minute earlier

Even the non-HDR shot is breathtaking, maybe some overexposure, but also gives a few more subtle tones of color than the HDR version. I do like HDR imaging, really does some amazing things when properly used, as you did in the original post.

But always take time to look at the sunset--you never know which one might be your last, and wouldn't it be a shame to miss something as spectacular as this!

We do get some terrific sunsets, eh? :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Those might be contrails, but I've never seen them bend like that...

This sunset is how it came out of the camera. There is no PP other than a slight levelling of the horizon.
The in-camera HDR was 3 EV with low smoothing. ISO was 100.

What a lovely sunset Pierre!

The hardest part was finding a pull-off spot on the highway where we wouldn't get rear ended. LOL, but that is so often the challenge

Thanks Ron.
Am just guessing that they are contrails -- one, just about in the center -- is really strange.

Thanks for visiting.
The forecast for today seems promising and we're going to try for another but in a different spot.
