Sky on Fire

Sunset hues at Kabini. Seen while returning back from our evening safari.
Camera: Nikon D90
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1000)
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO Speed: 200

Beautiful colours. The patterns in the sky enhance it further. Would have liked some more of the sky. You can try for a pano crop.

Hi Mrudul ,

What is pano crop ? and how is it done ?

There is another shot I had taken which has slightly more sky .. I am not able to upload it here in this same thread .. Do I need to post it to a new thread ????

Enjoy your evening

Hi Anu,

In a Panoramic (pano) crop, the top or the bottom portion of the image is cropped, so that the aspect ratio of the remaining image is between 2:1 or 3:1. The image being at least twice as wide as its height. Images are stiched to get a wider view, so the resulting image is a wide strip.

I have just cropped the bottom portion to get more of the sky. Liked the first post better, since the electric wires are a bit distracting in the repost.

Cheers,

I like the image. I agree that cropping off the bottom dark portion will enhance the image further. A pano crop gives a feel of the expanse and can often be very creatively used for some stunning landscape presentations.

Lovely image. I wish you could have avoided the powerlines at the right. I am reposting with a slightly different crop. Since I cropped from the bottom, your copyright notice also got cropped. So I posted a simple copyright notice. However, I felt without that copyright notice, the image looks much better.


Cheers,
