Sunset...a photographic study...

...we've been having gorgeous Spring weather (for a pleasant change)...and yesterday's sunset was a gorgeous pink and blue affair...

...so I spent a few minutes playing with the camera settings...

...auto...

...landscape...

...sunset...

...backlight...

...beach...

...portrait...

...I usually shoot in manual mode and set my own f-stops and apertures - before digital I used (and loved) an old Nikon FE...but when I need to shoot fast - it's fun and easy to have the predefined settings...and of course auto...

...so which is your favorite?...mine is actually the backlight one as I think it shows the depth of field the best...

  4. All so pretty but the backlight gives you some nice nuanced colors.
