Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
I climbed on a train platform to try and get a shot of the setting sun, couldn't get a good view as it wasn't high enough but I thought the colors of the sky were pretty funky.



Then yesterday while waiting for the local fireworks on top of a 6 story parking garage I realized, "Oh hey, why didn't I take sunset photos up here".





 
That first one is a cracker.
 
The first one is great. Rails and lamp posts creat some great clean lines that compliment clean colors of the sunset.
 
Thanks. What's crazy about that shot is I didn't bring my tripod with me so I was quite happy my horizon was mostly level.
 
I quite like the first as well, especially how the rails reflect the sky. Pretty cool.

Also, just as an aside, I hope you don't feel like you always need a tripod for a level horizon.
 
Awesome photos! What settings did you use for the first one, if you dont mind me asking? And perhaps what camera/lens are you shooting with? I had a few situations where the lighting looked pretty similar but my photos didnt turn out too well

Oh I am aware but I like carrying my tripod around to minimize motion blur in low light.
