This idea is stolen from another forum.

Because we have a nice spread of locations I thought it would be neat to have a picture thread dedicated to pictures taken of Sunrise or Sunset.

You are more than welcome to post as many pictures of each as you would like, no limit. Please keep it to those two topics though! Please make sure they are your pictures!

To start... here is one I took today, no tripod so its a little blury

Those are fantastic!

Jesse I love the one with the golden sun with the boat that is just awesome! If you don't mind me asking, where were those taken??

The best place to take sunset/sunrise pictures of course! Hawaii :thumbup:

LOL I guess I really gotta get myself to Hawaii!

this is one I took to show snow the other night

Very cool! I love the snow and the sun setting! The tire tracks are making an interesting pattern too

thanks Sunny - I was mostly playing with my new camera and trying to show someone the snow from Monday that was left on my driveway, as they were planning to visit - love the features on the camera - makes night shots great!

I took this pic from Little Beach, Maui. That's Molokini Crater.

Sunsets Oz style..

:artist: Spectacular! Those are awesome!!

Alvin - just more proof I need to get to Hawaii!

Matt - That first one is so great! Talk about Rays of the Sun! :clap2:

Some more Oz ones for you all to enjoy.

Oh, and not sunset pics but some surf Oz style as well..

i'm a sucker for sunset picts

Yay! These are all wonderful!

Hehe, you guys got some great pics, but you know that the horizon line should be level right? If you have photoshop its really easy to fix. Use the ruler tool, draw a line across the horizon. Then click 'Image' then 'Rotate Canvas' then 'Arbitrary' and clock 'ok' it will auto level your horizon lines. Nothing will ruin a great sunset/sunrise pic like a totally off wack horizon line ;P

:D You read my mind when I saw my pic posted, so I rotated it. Not quite as simple using GIMP as Photoshop, but almost as easy (you just have to crop afterwards).

That might be true if you live somewhere totally flat - but if you live in the mountains where the land is steeply sloped, that's not so true....

This one isnt a very good sunset picture, but it was taken while stranded on the side of the road. I had no gas and noche_caliente had a dead battery! :D

Those are very nice Nick! I love the one with the wheat and the sun that is so cool!!

here is a bad example of one I took from my car on my way home (this is with the Cybershot)

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/S2_Rp/Practice/DSC025231.jpg

Middle east that is, I took this while in Iraq.

1st one is during a bit of a wind storm and the second is one of my units aircraft coming back.

NB.

more...

The first 3 was during a little dust storm, reason that it is the color that it is, last 2 was during a more normal time. I'm not sure of the time of year any of these were taken.

NB

edit: These were around mid Nov to mid Dec.

and one more. This isn't exactly a sunset. That sorta kinda bright spot just above the light tower, that is the sun. This was taken mid afternoon during one of Iraq's famous dust storms, a mild one.

NB

edit: This was mid April, just after we got extended for 90 days. Still 5 months to go.

Wow Chris thanks for sharing those!

Wow Chris thanks for sharing those!

you are very welcome,

Question to the group: I have used pics found in the past on my computer as the desktop and screen saver. Would anybody mind if I used the ones on here for that? I wouldn't use them for any other purpose.

NB.

Sunset near my backyard (from the International Horseshoe).

I can't imagine that anyone who posted their pics up here for public viewing would have a problem with you using them for personal use. :2cents:

My buddy sent me this picutre. I'm not sure if it is real or not but it is unique.

It must be sunset since these birds look like they are headed home.

That is great! Thank your friend for us!

At least nature is smiling at us!

Here is a few that I snapped off the other evening.

Hey Chris... I know some people have reasons for it but I am curious... Why do you have the date stamp on your photo?

Off the top of my head, I don't remember. I know there was a really really good reason, I just can't remember it..........Mad Cow :rolleyes:

Looking at all these pictures, It is difficult to comprehend that this is a motorcycle forum. There is some real talent in this group. No more motorcycle goodies for me for a while--quite a while. Ordered a Pentax Digital SLR. The Owner`s Manual is literally a book. I will also need to get a new computer. Digital photography with Windows 98 is like trying to run a Ninja on fuel oil.

What a great bunch of people and pictures. Here a few from our Lewis and Clark road trip in 2006.

Don, This is absolutely incredible! I can`t wait till I get proficient with ny new digital. Have worked as a pro with 2 1/4x2 1/4 and 35mm format doing weddings and some fashion stuff. Digital is a whole new medium. Hopefully I will be a quick study and will be able to share pictures with "Y all", as they say in the South.

Thanks Alex - nothing special compared to many of the others. These were with a Casio EX-Z750. About the size of deck of cards with 7.5 meg. I've got a great Konica film SLR from the early 80's but film has become such an expensive medium now. I'm starting to get an itch for a Nikon D80. :doh: what did I just say :eek:

Sunrise out front in East Tn

Off the top of my head, I don't remember. I know there was a really really good reason, I just can't remember it..........Mad Cow :rolleyes:

Almost all digital cameras store the picture date/time in the EXIF information that is stored within the photo file (along with a bunch of other neat info on the photo, including just about all the camera settings and options used to take that picture), so I'm hard-pressed to think of a reason why it needs to be visibly printed within the photo itself. :idunno:

But let us know, whenever your Mad Cow goes into remission. :D

Jessica that is a beautiful picture! Thank you for sharing that! Those colors are so vibrant! I love sunsets like those!

Those last two are beaut's, thanks.

Hmm I tried attaching like 4 pictures but only these 2 would upload...oh well. I took these on mine and my girlfriends 4 year anniversary in Naples Florida. I love the shot with the sun reflecting in her glasses...hope she doesnt mind that her picture is up now :rolleyes:

Edit:Nevermind guess they all came up :)

I love those, I never would have thought about shooting the reflection off someones glasses.

^ Me neither... but me likey... the pics are phenomenal... :thumbup:

Thanks guys. Truthfully I didn't think of doing it either before hand I just saw the reflection and was like "that would make a sweet picture let me take a picture of your glasses" haha

Nick I can't see smuges. You don't mention it, people won't look :D

here's a couple i have taken 1st is the sunrise before the lobster fishing season starts, 2nd is a freak of nature from the clouds that lasted only 30 min before right before sunset. i felt like we were gonna be swallowed by the clouds. the third was coming off the ramp to take my last pic of the moonrise which i like so i put it in.

Those are awesome Lil one! Thank you for sharing!

WOW - This site has more diversity and talent than can be imagined. I don't care how bad a day you may be having, come read a few threads, look at some beautiful and creative pictures, and you can't help but feel better.

Went to the wharf where i grew to pay my respect to a fisherman that past away last weekend.

Bonnaroo 07 just before the Police went on. Others were taken at my house by me :) I have a lot more just need to find them.
