Just found this on Flickr.

Whats needed to get a shot like this. Would my Canon 500D and 17-85mm be enough or do i need filters, etc?

 

[theduck]

Thats had quite a bit of post processing. A circular polarizer and graduated ND filter would help.

Are you gay Andrew?

 

[Revels]

Wide angle. Luck. Photoshop.

 

[Schweppy]

Love it Dan!

 

[.Simon]

^ That's wicked.

How wide?

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Yeah you can do that! As said above .. a CPL filter will be needed or Grads. Photoshop for final tweaks!

 

[The Hoff]

Loads of these, and a load more to upload. Malaysia last week, TZ7, no processing at all, should brush up OK.

Here is a couple of mine, the 2nd one is a little over processed though

[Dave..]

It's harder than it looks, either comes out with the foreground as a silouhette, or the sky completely overexposed

Masai Mara 2007, straight out the camera

They would be a hundred times better if the horizons were level.

ND Grad filters are your friends

 

[Andy.]

Or a bit of fill in flash.

 

[Seriosha]

Need the first one in BIG for Wallpaper! Awesome!

nothing a bit of photoshopping cant sort out :rasp:

 

[Scott™]

Here are some i took last night

 

[JamesBryan]

These were shot in RAW which helps for later post processing. I basically changed the White Balance to get the purple colour

 

[Seedy172]

Some of these are awesome, loving that ^^^. Been some gorgeous night recently, shame I've had a fall out with my camera

 

[Aluco]

[Bloooor]

Not the best photos but the location is a winner for me.

 

[da rok]

To be honest, good sunset photos just come down to how good the sunset is, then obviously you need to capture it how you want to capture it.

I don't agree, look above you, awesome sun set, like one of the best I've ever seen but a straight forward unimaginative photo that doesn't do anything for me, apart from wish I was there

 

[Niall]

Well yes, but similarly you can be the best photographer in the world, but if the sunset is naff then you aren’t going to get the best sunset photo. So as long as you can capture it well then it comes down to how nice the actual sky is

Nope still not having that one! That's like saying a car photograph is all about the having the best car in the world.

innfact what your saying is it's all about the subject and not the photographer. I see so many bad sunset shots when there's a stunning sunset and so many good sunset shots where a tog has made the most of a scene, I'm not saying it doesn't help to have a great sunset but only in the same why that you'd rather shoot a super car over a ford fiesta!

What you said then is pretty much what I said, with subsets it does need to be a nice sunset to get a decent photo of it, the obviously the photographer needs to be able to capture it well, so it's dependent on both. But it helps to have a nice subject in the first place

a few I've taken.
