Sunset II - Yellow Light, a tree and sea...

These two shots are really different... while being really similar... confused? read on!

Both of them are targeted to the same coast... thay ahave been taken with the same camera but more than a year apart...

The first one is puteoli's gulf seen from balcony out of my rooms... I liked the warm color of the light even if I remember the ma little more peachy... I will not play with the WB after more than a Year!

The second one is one of three keepers I got from my photo scouting on easter monday (we call it Pasquetta... surely it has an english name I do not know^_^).
THe night before I played with several setting shootingin JPEG BASIC vs the usual RAW... I forgot about it since the followin day's night when I checked the images... another lesson learned the hard way.

This shot was suggested by Adriano Fazzari... I should say inspired by as he tried to take a similar shot but failed (He hadn't ever before used a camera not in auto! Keep trying Adriano!)
