Have you tried to hold a SLR camera in one hand & a bottle of scotch in the other?

Thanks for your remarks. TBH I was really lucky tonight & I have many really good shots & I have had difficulty deciding which to post as in 'one mans meat is another mans poison'. However I've chosen these to go with the original.
Hope you like them.

The last of the Sunset.

And as one Sun Sets, another world rises. High ISO so a little noisy.

Re: Tonight Sunset.

Sunset's are nice but you need to remember that at the end of the day you're still photographing them like any other scene so the same rules apply. Don't forget about the rule of thirds and forground interest which can transform a picture of an oridinary sunset into something special and out of the ordinary. Vulcan's most recent set is a good example of this.

Interesting. I don't know much about Photoshop or how Vulcans produced the photo's. I know I liked them but they seem to me heavily prossesed. Now that is probably what gives them a kick, at least to me. I asked my wife over & said nothing about Vulcans pictures, I said what do you think about them? She said she liked them but didn't like the Rocks (foreground) & wasn't keen on the unnatural feel to the pictures. So it seems Horses for Courses. I don't know if Vulcan would do it but it would be interesting to see the Images before processing, that would give me & I'm sure others an Idea of what can be done.
As for my Images, I decided to go out at the last minute with my camera last night & was surprised to see there was a good Sunset. I didn't take my Tripod & there was just nothing to put the camera on to allow for a longer shot so it was all hand held or nothing. I always like Silhouettes so to me they were how I personally like them, but I would have taken longer shots it I had anywhere safe to stand the camera on. Anyhow as you see from these two new Images I did take some with foreground in but preferred the first ones I posted before.
Anyhow thanks for the advice, as it's always welcome
