After the fiery sunset of Thursday night, tonight's was just as stunning but in a quite different way. I'd gone outside to attempt some more moon shots in the fading light of day. It was only when I turned back towards the house (to the West) that I saw the sun setting. A vast red globe hanging on the edge of the horizon. Pure colour set against a cloudless, flat sky.

Photographing the sun isn't the easiest task. The camera tries to adust to the brightest part of the image, resulting in high contrasts. These are the best I could manage.

This is the nearest to how it looked


This gives the best colour impression[/ALIGN]

This is my favourite though.
