Sunset photos from the recent trip to India

This is from our hotel, believe it or not.





On the way to the hotel...

That second one, in particular, is very nice. Great view from your room! Someday I want to visit India.

Sury, someday, you might want to spend a bit of time learning more about post-processing because you can get even more from your photos. Only a suggestion. I realize that many people hate spending time working on photos on the computer.

Henry,
Thank you for the suggestion about post processing. Any specific hints with this series?
Any suggestions on what could/should be improved in post processing? I am open to ideas.

Love the dramatic skies in those, Sury

Sury, I am assuming these are OOC jpegs? Maybe using auto wb?

Great sunbeams in that second shot.

Henry, they have been tweaked in LR. My camera setting was on auto WB. That is for sure.
You suspect WB needs to be looked at, in this set? I will upload the OOC image (original) tonight
and perhaps that may throw some light (no pun intended).

Thank you Andy and Jeff. I could not believe the scene as it appeared.
I was so excited, I don't think I even set up the camera/shot. Just started
shooting away.

I regret saying anything, Sury. I try to not to change what some one else sees or likes. It is only my opinion that in some cases your photos could benefit from a bit of post-processing. Sometimes adjusting color balance, sometimes contrast, etc. BUT, it is what you like that is important and your preferences are what you should go with.

Henry,
I tweaked in LR does not necessarily mean I got it right. Please do not hesitate to offer your opinion.
As you said, there are tweaks and then there are personal tastes. I am always open to suggestions. So if I
can bother you, could you share what could be done to improve? I can certainly try. If I don't like it, at least
I tried something new and if I like it, then I got a better image. Either way I am coming out ahead and don't
see a down side.

Those are amazing Sury. You captured the moments beautifully.

[sury]

Thank you Pitter.
