  • This was shot for a Dyxum group activity, "Chasing the Sun". Unfortunately it wasn't a very interesting sunset. In fact I could see well before I even crossed the Golden Gate that there were few clouds. I went ahead anyway, hoping to capture an HDR panorama. I need to upgrade from XP to W7 to be able to finish with the HDR processing; The full set of captures including those developed from RAW with +EV and -EV compensation amounts to 5.3GB of 16-bit TIFFs and it's a bit much for XP 32-bit. :) This is the exposure out-of-camera with some tone curve and white balance manipulations.

  • Sunset as seen from the top of Mount Tamaplais. This couple was really nice about moving while I took my panoramas, and they let me take some pics of them watching the sunset. I like this one the most.
