Sunset in the background light

If the setting sun hits the lens, then the dynamic range is usually not enough. We have a bright sun in a bright sky and at the same time deep evening shadows.

Of course, you can adjust the HDR camera mode, but I don't like to shoot with camera settings. I prefer the manual shooting mode. Therefore, sometimes you have to take three or more pictures with different shutter speeds and then stitch them in the Lightroom program. I like to control the process.

The second photo is just an HDR of 4 shots. But I had to apply a correction brush and add shadows. Otherwise, the picture turns out to be too flat and not very similar to the photo.

I was sitting in one of the boats and seeing off the sun, when suddenly the picture came to life. A young couple came to the pontoon pier with their dogs. It immediately became much more fun.

They were big dogs, but fortunately they didn't pay any attention to me.

Meanwhile, the sun continued to sink into the lake... it also wanted to refresh itself :)
