The trouble with working too hard is that it takes me ages to look at all the images and pick out the best ones, so I nearly missed this one! Sunset at Lough Neagh, Mon 3rd Nov - Venus is visible in this, though not as bright as it probably should be - caught it in the darker part of the twinkle I think.  Enjoy! Paul. |

That's a lovely peaceful looking setting Paul. Beautifully captured with its colours.

That's a lovely image Paul. I can see Venus no problem. I know what you mean about the way the planet periodically brightens and dims. The final capture depends so much on what it's doing. Nice strong colours. Would make nice wallpaper for the computer.

Paul, those are great colours!  But I have a little question: why your 'volcanic' sunsets are orange? Usually when I see one of them, the usual orange-blue colours disappear (further in dusk) and mild pink (and sometimes with violet) colours arrive. That is what I call a 'volcanic' sunset. (I put my attetion to this kind of sunsets since Kasatochi eruption in August).I have seen a few magnificent 'volcanic' sunsets in September. And then unexpectedly they returned in late October - November (last one was on Nov.12). Those sunsets were milder (not so distinct pink colour), but one of them (Nov.04) was nearly amazing! But unfortunately I missed a lot of them, and those few ones which I photographed were much harder to see on the photo than visually. Here are few last 'volcanic' sunsets in Poltava, I hope you can see the pinkish colour. Nov.06, southwest  Nov.12, SW  Nov.12, SSW, zoomed  |

The colours vary enormously - the reason why the Lough Shore is one of my favourite places is that no two days there are the same. Here's the sunset on 31st October which offers rather more in the way of purple.....  Enjoy! Paul. |

Oh yes, that is the right one - with bright pink colour. Great shot! But why your sunsets have so much of yellow-orange? Is it due to your camera or due to zero-degrees horizon (I have 5-7 degrees horizon)? |
