For this challenge, I am submitting a photo taken in Brigantine, NJ of a beautiful sunset we were lucky to stumble upon. In late November 2011, as we left the beach to drive home, the sky suddenly became ablaze with red, and I raced to the back bay to find a parking spot, set up my tripod and begin shooting.
Some who have viewed other shots of this particular sunset have said that the images were photoshopped. Well, for one thing I don’t have Photoshop on my computer. I used Canon Digital Photo Professional, the free software that came with my camera, to make some minor adjustments: straightening and cropping, increasing color saturation by a notch, and some lens aberration correction. The results are as close to what I remember of the sunset as possible, at least I hope so.

Helen, this photo would not have been possible without a tripod. It was very dark, and some of my exposures, but not this one, were as long as 13 seconds. Thank you for commenting.

The pink glow over the skies makes this sunset scene so very special ! We usually get golden tonalities ; lovely contrast also,on the dark outlined silhouettes !

This is a perfect shot! It doesn’t look like PS processed. I don’t have ps either, but have seen many ps processed photos. 🙂

I meant that a nice ps processed is far less than a perfect shot with just little enhancement like this one you captured.
