    Ah, this is beautiful! I so a sky like that a few days ago but I wasn't able to run inside the house to grab the camera. It's as if I couldn't move so I ended up staring at the fiery clouds till sunset.

    Sometimes you just have to sit/stand and enjoy the sunset for what it is :)

    Great 3D effect with the clouds.

    Thanks Ian :) Oh darn, I meant to do a stereoscopic image of this but forgot at the time.

    Thanks David :) It's funny, I spent some time on the train checking out my handy exposure tables and dialling in the manual exposure for this shot (guessing what the light would be like). I took the shot and then puddled with the exposure settings and took several more, but in the end, it was this one that turned out the most to my liking.

    Thanks Ming :) I'm slowly getting to recognise what will be a decent sunset based on the position and types of clouds available earlier in the arvo.

    I didn't realise it was manual exposure too. Congratulations ! I rely far too much on the histogram.
