Default First shot with new lens
This is my first shot(s) with my new EFS 17-55mm F2.8 IS that I have been waiting to get my hands on. I got lucky with a beautiful sunset on my first day of holiday at the beach flat - handheld (no tripod unpacked yet), stuck on AEB (+1.5,-1.5) and used Dynamic Photo to tone map, then cropped some off the bottom of the frame. Total PP was about 3 mins.

Sunset over Indian Ocean

Exposure: 1/1600 (800+3200)

Oh, it's beautiful. I love the way the buildings fade as the ocean and the sky command my attention. Such gorgeous colors.
