Nice Rich!  I particularly like the swathe of lighter cloud setting
off the sunset colours.

I use Photoshop Elements (v2 now) and I really like its capabilities.
I don't think I could handle all the Photoshop does.

O.K., we're taking the plunge here.  Gulp.

First scan of a sunset over the 4th of July weekend out on the
peninsula.  About the only modifications I made to this was to use
Adobe PhotoDeluxe Business Edition "dust" correction, and "sharpen".
Don't know what I'm doing yet.  Oh, and I cut off some of the black
foreground area at the bottom.  Scanner is an Epson Perfection 1200U.

I was standing very unsteadily on a log, trying to get "up" to
capture as much water as possible.  The actual sunset was rather
dull, and we were about to give up and go over to the campfire for a
('nother) beer, when over a period of two or three minutes the sky
started to get brighter, and the color show began.  I got so excited
I could hardly function.  I knew the "magic light" wouldn't last
long.

Didn't record the aperture, but I seem to recall I had the 35-105
pretty much wide open at 1/60th.

That's the w. coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. in the rt. background.

Comments welcome.

P.S.  Why Adobe "PhotoDeluxe Business Edition"?  It came bundled
with the scanner.  Any comments about that vs. "Photoshop"?
