Sunsets!

Cheesy topic, but hey, days are getting hotter so the sunsets are getting more spectacular. Let's get some sunset shots in. If you're an early bird, sunrises are good too. Try to stick down EXIF and any special techniques (filters/HDR etc,) I always like to see how to get various effects.

I'll start you off:



Carlton Hill, Edinburgh. ISO 800, 200mm equivalent, 1/45 f2.8
