Im still learning my Olympus E-520 and this was my first trip to the Grand Caynon, shot was handheld around 5:30pm, sunset was 6:15pm shot useing a CP filter adjusted for boldest colors with 14-42mm at 14mm.

I posted a few others on flickr but this was one of my favorites from today. Heading back tommarow with tripod.

Nice.. love the overall perspective, you got a lot of contours on the geographic features. I only wish if the pic was sharper.. It looks kind of hazy.

Absolutely glorious, wonderful backyard TFS


cheers

Great first submission! Do you have any specific questions?

One thing I notice is that you seem to have a lot of greyish colors in the distance. This may be due to haze, or it may be correctable. Have you done any curves or levels correction on this?

beautiful shot! but, because this is the critique section, i suppose i must say something negative.

umm...it seems kind of hazy (have you played with levels?) and maybe if you had let more of the sky show, the composition would be better.
but thats it. once again, beautiful!

Thanks everyone, I havent used any software on the pic yet. This went from the camera right to Flickr. There was a little haze yesterday and Im still learning my filters, I usally have a UV filter on my lens and have been playing with a CP filter at times. I wil try again today as I am on a road trip to the Albuquerque balloon festival and spent last night at the caynon and will stop again on my way out. My filters are cheap, so I will try without them maby they are softening the pic abit.

Thanks for the comments, the only way to learn is for people to be hounest

This one could be cool if done bracketed or maybe with an ND filter? I don't have an ND filter, just a thought.

It's important to remember that a UV filter does nothing on a digital camera, except to protect the lens. Digital sensors already have a built-in UV filter, so the external filter doesn't do anything more to eliminate haze.
