a fish-eye view perhaps? 😀

  Yes indeed, a fisheye. I only use it occasionally. The first one was taken with the 16-35 at 16 but using a crop sensor camera I don’t get 16.

  Thanks so much Andrew, and yes the fisheye can produce some good results at times for sure!

The fish eye’s quite appropriate, considering … but do alligators see red? They’re wonderful shots of a stunning sunset, though I think the last set you posted pip this one for drama.

  There actually are a lot of alligators in the river and as hard as I looked last night I didn’t see any. 🙂
  Thanks much for checking these out!

I can never get enough of your sunset pictures, Phil! These are beautiful and the reflection in the water simply doubles the beauty.

  Thank you very much Maggie, glad you liked these sunsets pics! There is actually a bar right there on the river where you can enjoy a beverage along with this view. 😀

Love those deep colours. Much post-pic processing or not?

  Thanks, glad you like these. In general I do very little PP. I only shoot jpegs and will do some brightness and contrast adjustments and occasionally minor color tweaks but that’s about it. One thing I did do here was switch from AWB over to Shade WB when taking the pics.

  Yes it can be very nice there and it’s even better because there is a bar right on the river where you can get a drink and a snack then sit back and enjoy the view. 😀

  This was one of those ‘after the sunset’ sunsets. The good colors did not pop out until later. 🙂

  Thanks Emily but it gets even better because there is a bar right on the river where you can get a drink and a snack then sit back and enjoy the view. 🙂
  Back before Christmas B&H had a 2 day sale on a Rokinon 8mm fisheye for $214 so for that price I had to grab it.
  It’s full manual everything but that’s OK.
