Dawn is cheating but here's one from the last stage of the GR20 on Corsica (Sept 2004)

Capri from Sorrento. July 2014
Gah can't make it work with iPhone 🙁

Beautifuil pics! I'll dig some of mine out later, but they're going to struggle comparing against this lot!

I love the atmospheric optic stuff, though, figuring out what it is you're looking at and what's causing it.

Holst, I really like your photo. I love the way the buildings' shadows are projected onto the clouds. Never thought that would've happened. Did you get lucky with shadows or did you know that would happen and just had to wait for the right time?

Pure luck. I have no idea what caused that sunset, never seen it like that again.

It's not the buildings, it's some things much further away, possibly small, puffy low clouds, palls of smoke, or maybe (?) hilltops.

Hadn't noticed this was a 4 month old thread, did a quick ctrl f for my name on the other pages just to make sure I'd not posted these same ones already on the same thread!

Got some crackers in Finland and Slovenia last year. This might be the impetus to finally do something with them.

Some amazing photos, I have much to learn on the composition side. I'm comfortable with the technical side what settings to use etc but my efforts aren't as interesting to look at as the ones on this thread.

@nedrapier love that skier photo.

Almost forgot about this one I took a few months back of the International Space Station.

like that iss shot what was the exposure time

Thank you, it's a composite of roughly 12 images and lot of post processing much more than I normally like to do. I feel like it's cheating but the final image looks so cool I can live with it.

Took one photo to get the tower exposed correctly. I think this was around 30secs, it was quite dark and I used a low ISO to reduce noise. The sunset on this image was blown out and mostly white.

Took another photo to get the sunset exposed so that the colours stood out I think this was around 2 secs, I also increased the saturation a lot and used a warm white balance setting again to bring out the orangey hues. The tower in this shot was mostly black and like a silhouette.

Then multiple 5 sec shots for the ISS stitched together to form one continuous line. It was still twilight so I couldn't use a longer exposure as the sky was becoming very bright and hard to separate the ISS from the sky. I then increased the contrast to make the ISS stand out from the sky a bit more.

I then merged all three photos together (the tower, the sunset and the ISS trail) using layer masks to only select the part I want from each photo to create the final image. The camera was fixed on a tripod the whole time so no alignment needed between each photo.

More late afternoon tbh but what the heck

Just found this one when going through some old Holiday photos. Took this with camera attached to fence with jobypod and used delayed shutter release.

Taken in winter, admittedly, close to Chipping in the Ribble Valley:

Not technically a great photo although taken with a smartphone but I love this shot I took from the hotel window in Kinshasa, looking down the Congo river towards the Stanley Rapids, which stretch from Kinshasa for 350 kms to the Atlantic. Above the rapids from Kin upstream everything moved by river steamer but the entire, massive Belgian river shipping industry is now rusting and derelict. Look on Google Earth and you'll see hundreds of rusting, sinking barges moored along the port. That's the start of the rapids, in the distance.
