City Sunset
By John Reed
January 25th, 2009
This spot is on a dirt road that goes up one of the many mountains around my house. This area looks down on the surrounding valley and is a relatively popular local place to view the sunset. On cloudy days, the sky turns deep colors during and just after sunset for only a few minutes. I used this opportunity to try out my new SIGMA 10-20 HSM but forgot to use smaller apertures to keep sharp corners, but it didn't bother me enough to keep from using the picture.

I have to agree "reeed" - I'd like this more with sharpened corners, but it's still great. Looks quite good on my screen. Thanks.

Wow! This looks very much like where I live. This has to be somewhere on the Box Springs mountains looking over Riverside!

I think its a beautiful photo, I just wish the horizon was level. Great colors though.

This is taken from box springs mountain! I should've taken a version with a level horizon, but I was without a tripod and was using a rock. The straightened version that brizkit did looks nice. Thanks for all the comments

The colors are stunning. Mother-nature sure knows how to leave us speech less. This is a great example of it.

Hey reeed, I probably should have left the editing up to the artist, but I just had a little spare time and figured I'd rotate it for dazzleme (and others). I didn't alter a thing otherwise. In fact, I actually prefer the original -- the angle adds a nice "in flight" feeling. This is a really cool capture.

Very nice shot. It has an airiness that I like so much in good photography. As for the angle of the horizon, it does impart an "in flight" feel as cited by Brizkit. However, unlike him, I simply propped up one side of my monitor to level the horizon!!!

The city and the sky look so pretty.

Sorry Lehman, the city itself isn't that great, I live there. The sky is awesome from time to time. It's the smog that gives it the color.
