Great shot. How do you keep the land from being too dark when shooting into the sun? Can you tell me what filters and/or settings you are using? Thanks

It was a photo in automatic... but I always shoot in RAW. Then you just need to adjust in photoshop, or similar, so the blacks are actually black, and the whites are white. After that you can adjust the color if needed.

In this particular photo I probably increased the midtones a little bit to bring the grass up.

This one stands out. Do you have your Photo settings set 16:9, is that how you got this length?

Thanks "With The Birds". The true cost of sunset photographs near the river are the number of mosquito bites. I think I have lost my immunity to the creatures due to chemo. I was fortunate with that photo because the water was high in the river leaving only the taller trees above water level. Too, it was early spring and no leaves were on the trees and it was one of my first flights (beginners luck). I have trying to get a misty morning shot along the river but the weather has not been right for it as yet. I like your photo above and envy the mist. - Joe

Its a beautiful sky Erised. Im my personal opinion, and this is subjective so please dont take offence, the dark area in the lower frame should either be cropped out or exposed so that some more detail is apparent. I find the large area of black constantly draws my attentionn away from that beautiful sky. You could take a second frame at a longer exposure and blend or several bracket shots for a HDR blend. Again only my opinion.

Some very nice shots in here. I've got a long way to go.
