I got finished early tonight from work and decided to catch the sunset. Unfortunately I wanted to go to the Derwent reservoir to catch the sunset but the entrance was closed off. So I made my way up onto the moors and caught last sightings of sunset. However the sky (even though it was a little misty) turned a nice colour as the sun went down. The light was shining on this old barn and the sheep were grazing on a bale of hay, I just couldn't resist a quick shot. I didn't have much time to set up my tripod so I just placed my beanbag onto a wall and took a couple of shots. I'm quite pleased with the results. Up in the top right is the moon. Below is a photo of the sunsetting.
Settings (as the sun goes down)
- Camera Olymus E500
- Aperture - f/22
- Shutter speed - 0.6 sec
- ISO-100
- Focal Length - 22mm
- Exposure compensation -1 step
Settings (Sunset)
- Camera Olymus E500
- Aperture - f/22
- Shutter speed - 1/15 sec
- ISO-100
- Focal Length - 22mm
- Exposure compensation -0.7 step
I am still trying to get used to the settings on my camera. I think these shots could've been improved if I had chosen different settings. It's all a learning curve and I'm always experimenting to get the best results. However, any advice on settings for these lighting conditions is gratefully received. Thanks.

I think both photographs work really well, but I particularly love the first one. I would have shot it using the same settings.
I would happily have that first photo on my wall - I hope you get it printed out for the club! :)
