Rain vs Sun at sunset

virginie24jb · Jul 21, 2014

Finally! It's been a week that I've wanted to try my brand new 6D and 24-105. Last night we jumped on the car and I could finally try it out with this gorgeous sunset. It was raining but my brother played his role of assistant perfectly and protected the camera with an umbrella. Since we were along the road, he even placed the triangle a little ahead and made me wear the fluorescent safety vest. :lol:

Here are the results (ISO 100 for all of them).

65mm, f/16, 0.6sec

80mm, f/16, 2sec

55mm, f/16, 0.6sec

24mm, f/16, 0.6sec

Love the photos! Lovely and warm colors.
And just on time, before I buy my 24-105 ^^

Thank you.

Well, once you've got it and have tried it, please let me know if you also get a lot of flares in those conditions. :meh:

Thanks everyone.

I just want to add that the colors are not edited. We had amazing colors and light that evening.

I edited my first post to add the settings.

I like the colors in all and the use of grasses as your foreground element(s).

#2 is also my favorite, mainly for color. The composition could use a tree silhouette on the left side as well, for balance.

Nice set! Your final shot in the set has some nice diffraction spikes on the sun shooting through the tree while looking down the row. You're also getting a very nice backlit glow through the grasses in the 4th image.
