One afternoon last year I had a nice sunset, but it was on the wrong side of me (or perhaps it was the other way around), so I decided to try some silhouettes. This one is cropped from a horizontal shot.

Should have included the techs:

EOS5, 300 f/4 IS + 1.4x teleconverter, Provia 100F (probably shot at 320 and pushed +2).

Really beautiful shot. I'm curious as to the lens and other equipment used, in other words, technical info please. :)

Hi Andrew,

Perfect color and composition for this one.

Pushing the film 2 stops and cropping substantially has made the grain pretty evident here. I wouldn't think you would need all the extra speed shooting this but it is hard to say.

I really do love the composition and the nice gradation in the color.

Well Done!

Beautiful image, I love the silhouette against the ripples in the water and the colours are gorgeous as is the composition.

Very nice!

Hi Andrew---on my Mac monitor the image appears slightly grainy but I like the long expanse of water, the colors and the composition.
