 Day and night all in one shot. This is part of a series I've been taking these past few weeks. and YES! I know it's kinda grainy. I actually Like that effect. Hopefully this image won't get disqualified... The exif data thing was messed up on the camera since I didn't know about the date thing on it. Oh well. Trying anyway.

although I love the colors, there is too much in this shot that is black. Cropping in on part of the shot might have helped.

If I had a sky like that coming in.. I'd run!

I like the 'idea', but it's too grainy/blurry for me - I bet it was awesome in 'real life' though.

Nice picture. Slightly faster shutter speed may eliminate some of the noise in the black areas.

Maybe do a despeckle on this in photoshop to correct the graniness. Cool colors.

The dark clouds really help this shot, but at only 41k, the compression is too high.

Nice.

I quite like the mood the grainyness give to the image.

Nice sunset.. or is it a sunrise? The photo looks a tad grainy... but the colors are nice :)

Looks grainy to me, but I think you did a good job with the available light.

Admittedly a hard shot to get. If your camera has an ISO adjustment, try shooting at ISO 50 or 100 with a slightly longer exposure.

Picked up a lot of noise in this shot, too dark for me. I like the contrast between night and day

good attempt at a really difficult subject. Its hard to get good sunset pictures. A stronger silohette might have helped

HAhA. A sunset. Lame.

If you had taken this maybe 15 minutes earlier it would have been more efective.

A simple sunset shot, offering not much of anything.

good shot
 04/22/2002 02:39:00 AM
Maybe a "little" more brightness, and clearer outlines of whatever is on the picture..

Awesome shot. Too bad there's so much noise.

Why so grainy? This picture is dominated too much by black. The shapes in the horizon added to the picture, but not the huge black cloud. I notice what looks like an oil-rig in the background. Did you try a shot with just the rig and the sunset? I have seen many great shot in magazine like that.
