Description

I was hoping for a more colorful sunset, but lacking that, I decided to try to capture the more subtle beauty of that evening. I softened the image by reducing clarity in Lightroom.

Did you take this image using long exposure and ND filters? Nicely done. #1584730

Yes, I was trying that. I have a 3 stop ND and also used a polerizer filter. The exposure was only 1 sec so I further softened it by reducing Clarity and increasing Luminance noise reduction in Lightroom. #11118719
