and STill More Sunsets...

Yesterday (when I got slimed by seaweed) we had a beautiful sunset.

Just for the record, I did not photoshop or alter the first five photos. This is really how it looked! I did not use any filters either. The only thing that I did while shooting was to try different settings to see how the different settings would change how the photo looked once shot.

The sunset was very orange and fire-y and had beautiful reflections on the water.

Enjoy!
The snow capped mountains on the Washington State side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Totally unaltered!

OK. This is the one shot that I did alter the colours. While it may not look totally natural, I do like the contrast of the colours (the blur around the edges is from my forgetting to reomove the macro lens-I think it's a neat mistake).
