I wanted to create a film like look with the widescreen scope and desaturated and dark tones. I hope you will like it.

This is the first image from my "Golden Hour" series. You can find the rest on my blog.

The golden hour series is a two-part project where I examine what happens after or as the sun sets. It's not strictly a sunset-series but more a darker and moodier version of those photos...

under exposed way to much... and the sunset is just boring

You obviously didn't read above.

It is not underexposed, he exposed purposly for the sky, there is a difference.

I actually like it alot, it shows a true representation of what happens in the 'golden hour' and the type of light it creates.

Thanks Arch. As you noted I wanted it to be more real, dark and moody.

Of course I'm not underexposing as a mistake. It's about atmosphere. Like in this photo which is properly exposed, but it's about something different.

Very nice, I like over exposed look of the sun while the foreground has a good exposure. Something diferent, :thumbup::thumbup: good job.

These pictures have a lot of feeling, I like them alot! Especially the last one! I find the colouring very natural, not over saturated! :thumbup:

Thank you. :blushing: I really didn't play with the colors in post production. I only adjusted the contrast a bit.
