Sunset

Here's another picture from the day I went out to shoot some pictures of the sunset. It was on the 21st of June, when it was the longest day of the year.

I took this picture on the beach of Bloemendaal aan Zee, about 10km from Haarlem. It was taken a few minustes past 22.00h, with a quite low shutter speed.
The sea you can see is de Noordzee (North Sea).
I like this one because of the two people that passed, hope you like it too.
Here is my other picture from this sunset.

Hi Lars, A very romantic picture at the sunset. The silhouette view of the couple make a nice scene together with the beautiful setting sun and the clouds. A great timing and a wonderful moment. Well done.

Mooie foto met geweldige kleuren. Groet, Huub

quantabeh (5203) 2005-07-22 12:27

hi Lars,
wow, nice saturated red colors. I like the human sillouettes too. the radiance of color across the sky is tremendous.
nice shot!

Hi Lars, je tweede prachtige zonnewende foto. Hij is romantisch door de combinatie van de donkerwarme tinten van de lucht (de gradaties in de lucht zijn prachtig!) en de twee gesilhouetteerde wandelaars. De zachte focus draagt bij aan de kwaliteit. Fijn werk. Groeten uit Rotterdam, Bert.

Bonjour Lars
Une composition très intéressante et parfaitement cadrée; mais il était possible d'utiliser une vitesse plus lente avec un diaphragme plus fermé afin d'étaler la profondeur de champ.
J'ai effectué un WS pour donner un peu plus de luminosité.
Merci.

Hello Lars
A very interesting and perfectly tallied composition; but it was possible to use a slower speed with a diaphragm more closed in order to spread out the depth of field. I carried out a WS to give a little more luminosity.
Thank you.

Hi Lars! I think this one has a nice mood and atmosphere, and I also like the two people, the sea and the beautiful colours of the sky. Good work!

jhm (83131) 2005-07-22 14:23

Goedenavond Lars,
Een avond beeld en met een koppel op wandel spreekt altijd aan, de WS is een klein beetje geweld aangedaan dus blijf ik voor het origineel strijden. Het is een beeld om over na te denken, en te filosoferen.
Mooi werk lars.
Goed weekend,
John.

June is my favourite month of the year, among other things because days are longer than ever... Such a joy of life. Thanks for remind me this feeling I´m started to forget (two days ago I noticed days are still getting shorter little by little)... Wonderful photo, full of emotion. Enjoy present Lars.

Nice one Lars, woudl have been a nice sunset as it is but i htink the people make it a lot better. As far as sunsets go I like the othe photo better but the silhouettes really improve this one.

Well done : )

singuanti (15240) 2005-07-22 22:32

Hi Lars. Nice sunset shot. The colors are great and I love how you captured the sun at the last possible moment. The use of the silhouettes really adds to the shot. Just watch out for some noise in the sky. Well done Lars!

Emile (20051) 2005-07-23 2:28

Beautiful sunset Lars.
Very good sky and clouds colours, very well captured , the dark silhouette of the couple walking on the beach give you a nice perspective and depth to your photo.
Well done.

aloyho (6109) 2005-07-23 2:55

Hi Lars,
Very beautiful rendering of the sky and the red colour is stunning. Good positioning of the figures as they moved into the scene. A relaxing scene nice for winding down after a day's hard work. Great shot!! Regards.

papagolf21 (56593) 2005-07-23 3:26

Bonsoir Lars,
Très beau coucher de soleil rougeoyant qui s'en va éclairer une autre partie du globe.
Les silhouettes qui se détachent sur ce très beau fond marin sont idéalement placées dans la composition.
Well done.
Philippe

danby1 (3689) 2005-07-23 4:04

hey lars, good shot of the sunset, its all worked well here, the fast shutter speed has stopped it from becoming too bright and making the silhouettes of the people stand out more! good colours and good composition, well done lars! :)

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-07-23 4:19

Nice shot full of great colors and well built from the two passers who are at a good place.
Artistically done.
I like it
jean Michel

Steft (5962) 2005-07-23 6:44

Wat romantisch! Mooi warme rode en roze tinten. De lijnen in de lucht zijn erg mooi. Misschien had ik de contrasten ietsje verhoogd, zodat de grijze silhouetten wat zwarter worden. Verder prachtig werk!!

rbcy1974 (20746) 2005-07-24 8:13

Hi Lars,
Very nice image, great colours, a bit on the dark side. Nice view of the couple. Mabe you should sell it to be packaging for condoms.
Cheers.
Daniel

capthaddock (28640) 2005-07-24 11:17

Hi Lars- amazing colours in the sky, and great timing just as the sun is dipping below the horizon, the people also add interest to the foreground.

john_c (24635) 2005-07-24 14:48

Hi Lars,
A magnificent, well composed sunset shot, with great silhouettes and wonderful sky colour. The couple strolling are perfectly positioned to add warmth and balance the scene. The wave action is distinctly seen and a mood of peace prevails throughout. A most satisfying image, Lars. Well captured and rendered.
John

kLe (2039) 2005-07-24 15:46

Simply fantastic. Excellent red colours, like fire, of the sunset. Good idea to include these figures in the foreground

ChristianS (2997) 2005-07-25 5:00

Hi Lars, vry nice sunset, the different layers of colours in the sky are beautiful. And the dark silhouettes of the couple on the beach are nice addition. Well captured!

Regards, Christian

Jeppe (18623) 2005-07-25 17:53

Yes - I noticed that day :-)
I like the view of a sunset as well - the people gives a fine feeling of being there as well. Thanks Lars.

supereira (9576) 2005-07-26 5:50

What a set of coloring, springt werklijk in het oog in je gallerij, mooi Lars.

Lars, bonjour !
J'aime ces personnages en contre-jour devant un coucher de soleil proche de son terme et le tons rougeoyants de l'horizon.
Jacques

chrisnet (20376) 2006-07-10 10:50

Hello Lars,
Très beau ce coucher de soleil avec les deux silhouettes qui se détachent sur la mer encore illuminée de ses beaux reflets rougeoyant.
C'est une image très romantique,j'aime çà...
Well done
Christian

emjleclercq (14428) 2006-07-14 16:16

Beautifull silouettes on a beautifull sunset sky. A lot of harmony in this image.

All the best,

Emmanuel

riclopes (33117) 2007-01-23 6:05

Olá Lars, I like more of the other composition, but this one wins for the inclusion of the people passing by. The colors are wonderful and I like the darker atmosphere with the people as sillouttes. 22:00h is really late for s sunset. Sometimes, I go to bed at that hour :-)
Hilsen,
Ricardo

pablominto (41122) 2007-05-29 8:50

Hello Lars,
The romantic corner, an image that turned up in random..!
An amazing sunset, with a colour palette not often seen...
Well composed, as the few elements are nicely put together!
Greetings,
