Sun descending over Mogielica - highest mountain (1171 m) in Beskid Wyspowy, southern Poland. Observation tower is visible. I plan to visit it this summer.
2x TC in action. Yes, trees are out of focus, but it was impossible to keep looking directly into viewfinder to adjust focus. Sun was still too bright.

Nice shots hawke. I don't think the OOF trees really hurt that one... I'll bet you'll be glad to get the bandages off your eyes

Nice transitions between the phases of sunset Hawk,
The sky sure gets real red in your region.

Worth the extra effort of waiting for it to come down totally.

Love the Cape Horn image. I hope it's a raw file. It has some great possibilities.

i normally only ever take pics in jpegs winston, let that be a lesson to me, i really just take them for my enjoyment and anybody else that might like them is a bonus and a boost for me, thanks for the nice comment though

gio67: yes, try shooting in RAW, it allows to operate on image so much more effectively.
Javelin: you bet, I took'em off next day and go hunting for some macro shots in garden
Yildiz: red, orange, yellow, you name it. I'm however still trying to get purple one
