Sunrise/Sunset Thread

BlueTyke · January 23rd, 2009, 05:38 PM

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

Christmas day 2008

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

BlueTyke · January 23rd, 2009, 07:12 PM

LOL I guess I really gotta get myself to Hawaii!

noche_caliente · January 23rd, 2009, 08:47 PM

this is one I took to show snow the other night

BlueTyke · January 23rd, 2009, 08:59 PM

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

noche_caliente · January 23rd, 2009, 09:03 PM

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!

minizoom · January 23rd, 2009, 10:16 PM

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

Matty E · January 24th, 2009, 03:46 AM

Sunsets Oz style..

BlueTyke · January 24th, 2009, 09:23 AM

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!

Matty E · January 24th, 2009, 05:32 PM

Some more Oz ones for you all to enjoy.

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

Broom · January 24th, 2009, 08:23 PM

i'm a sucker for sunset picts

Alex · January 24th, 2009, 08:30 PM

Taken in Big Sur from Kirk Creek campground, right off of Highway 1 at the intersection with Naciemento-Ferguson Road.

BlueTyke · January 24th, 2009, 08:47 PM

Yay! These are all wonderful!

Cling · January 24th, 2009, 08:54 PM

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

Alex · January 24th, 2009, 09:03 PM

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....

NJD022588 · January 29th, 2009, 03:47 PM

Here's a sunset from Sanibel Island, FL:

2 Sunrise pics from Clifton, VA:

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!

BlueTyke · January 29th, 2009, 04:47 PM

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)

ninjabrewer · January 30th, 2009, 06:21 PM

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.

ninjabrewer · January 30th, 2009, 06:27 PM

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.

ninjabrewer · January 30th, 2009, 06:33 PM

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.

BlueTyke · January 31st, 2009, 09:47 AM

Wow Chris thanks for sharing those!

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.

CC Cowboy · January 31st, 2009, 02:41 PM

Sunset near my backyard (from the International Horseshoe).

This year the bikes will run at night (sounds stupid to me).

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.

No problem! Go ahead! I don't mind myself anyway!

CC Cowboy · February 3rd, 2009, 10:31 AM

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!

ninjabrewer · February 9th, 2009, 11:05 PM

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

Enjoy

BlueTyke · February 10th, 2009, 06:55 AM

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

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.

OldGuy · February 10th, 2009, 07:31 PM

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