Here's another one. It rarely works when shooting directly into the sun, while it is completely out, but I always try, anyway. ;)

Really nice photos.

I drove down to Sanibel Island, today. It's not quite 30 minutes from where I live. Figured I'd take a couple of photos. Ended up taking 138 photos, instead. God, I love living on the southwest coast of Florida. :)

Here's from another vantage point on Sanibel this evening.

I usually hate sunsets without clouds, but tonite was fun. :)

Sunset, tonite, was pretty darn nice, too. :-)

Hell, I could post tonite's sunset for half the nite. I took 98 photos. ;-)

i like the one before the last, how the clouds frame the picture up top

Tropicdiver,

I am highly impressed.

Thanks for sharing so much inspiration. I just bought a decent digital camera, and look forward to the fun.

Awesome pics tropicdiver :cool:

This one can’t compare to the quality of your sunsets.


Taken last summer on the coast of Oregon.

Thanks. I was just there and snapped the photo. I do enjoy the photo of the lone upright tree.

One more taken the same day.

i hate waking up in the morning so i might take a picture of the sunset when it comes, theyre kinda the same thing anyway

Not sunrises, but close enough!

Sunset, same day.. clouds finally went away

Another sunset, hard to keep teh horizon straight when standing in dunes, but I think I did fairly well haha

http://www.stdomain.frag-wire.com/pics/seaside1002.jpg
More sunset, more un-even horizon due to dunes

I was in Key West two weekends back. Only caught one sunset, tho.

well i finally got around to it. My sunrise picture

Tropicdiver! You're pictures are too good!
:D
I might have missed you saying, but what camera do you use?

Anyway, here is my only good sunrise picture:
http://www.zen8722.zen.co.uk/ROB/sunrise.jpg

The only reason I was up to see that was because I was meant to be going to school. But it was snowed off. :)

Here's a "pre-sunrise" photo. Most times, IMHO, this time of dawn is actually better than when the sun starts to rise.. :)

I have a Nikon Coolpix 5700. I really don't do anything special with the camera. I nearly always have it set on automatic and the focus sent on infinity. The trick with low light is using a tripod and a remote shutter to minimize any vibration from pressing the shutter or any motion from taking a photo at such a slow shutter speed, that it is next to impossible to hold the camera perfectly still, hence the tripod.

Thanks for your kind words. :)

Here's a recent sunrise from Fort Lauderdale Beach.

Nice, i need to get my scanner up and show ya'll some Alaska sunrises and sunsets.

My cousin came into town for the holidaze, so we ran down to the beach, tonite. A so-so sunset, but I'll take what we get. It was almost 80, today... 2 days before Christmas.. Love it. :)

Well i'm not as good as tropic diver, but here is one from the northern region:

heres another:

Hey, I'm not that "good", really. I'm just lucky enough to live in an area that it is hard to screw up a sunrise / sunset photo. Nearly every one I see is perfect, except for tonite's, of course. Not a cloud in the sky and if I've seen one flaming ball of orange going into the Gulf of Mexico, I've seen ten thousand of 'em. ;)

BTW, liked your second photo, tilted horizon and all.

heres another from lake superior:

hey tropicdiver i recently took some sunset pics that reminded me of yours halfway up the page (i guess cuz of the cloud formation near the top)

if i only had a better place to take them than off of my roof

Be careful while on your roof. We wouldn't want you falling off and hurting your camera. ;)

Good photos.

one from Alaska.

I went out to Bokeelia this evening. I've seen better sunsets, but at least it was warm, tonite. ;-)

And here's the last little bit of lite left, tonite.

Here's the last one for tonite...

HA! What a crock! You're shots rock man! But, I guess one's biggest critic will always be themselves.

I posted this in "Post your best pics" and thought I would put it up in here.
<img src="http://www.photographlink.com/slideshow/jasone/pics/PismoBeach06.jpg">

Yeah, how right you are. :)

Managed to cull out a couple more photos, tonite, from last nite.

This photo is the same as the previous one, pretty much, except I zoomed in on the sunset.

Here's a couple more and then it's bed time, in case anyone is interested.

Okay, it's time to head for the OD Corral...

Here's one sunrise picture from a vacation a year and a half ago

I hit the wrong submit button, here's the first picture
