Sunset at Sutro Baths
It was a hot day yesterday, we decided to go out to see the sunset at Sutro Baths to cool down, and were treated to another nice and unique sunset view.
I went out with the D200 yesterday and I'll have more to post later. IQ is spectacular, in my opinion, what do you think? :)

I like the sensor's dr and the compostion is great, but the blue sky seems a bit off for a sunset image. Is that post processing or the camera's auto wb?

Believe it or not, last night's sunset really looked like that, blue sky above, golden sunset below. The only thing I did was to make it a little more vivid to my personal preference. What did you mean by "off", the fact that it was blue at all, or perhaps I overdid the saturation?
Yes, I love the DR of APS-C. It would have required much more work to wring this out of a Micro 4/3 sensor.

My personal taste is a little less saturation and let the natural light and color provide the drama. That is just me though. My two images are at sunrise and with the heavy haze I chose not to use any saturation or vibrance. Two ways to show views and two interpretations. That is what makes this fun.

I made a version that looks more natural.

I actually like the warmer (2nd) version better. I'm not sure what I was thinking on that first one :). Maybe it was too late last night when I did the original PP for it, and my eyeballs were mis-calibrated. :P.

I am partial to the 2nd version as well Warren, as I compare both images the transition area in the sky between the sun glow and the evening blue sky created a break to the eye. The second version has a better transition and seems to move between these colors less abruptly. Perhaps version 1 had a bit of posterization, which made an abrupt transition. Anyway, great image.

"Spectacular" is the word that immediately came to mind when I saw the small version of #1 in my email.
I'm partial to #1... the darker blues in the upper part of the sky really contrast beautifully with the warm colors of sunset.
Steve, thanks for speaking up about #1. Good feedback. --WT
