Sunset shoots can be so versatile. Besides those wark colours (when you actually decide to keep them), long shadows, and dramatic clouds from time to time, they are also great for shooting silhouettes.
And that is when switching photos to black and white gives the best results. At least for me. You can see the colours right anyway, and changing and adjusting the black and greys makes the shapes pop nicely.
I replace the nice, wide streets with a nice, wide bay and the sun setting on the other side. There are usually plenty of people around there, so I was sure I would catch something nice.
The first was a girl who was getting ready to leave. A few minute break, I guess...
More people were walking, some were shooting the sun with their phones.
I like how skinny the tree branches look. They are tough ones, though, as it can get very windy in that area.
Everyone shoots what they like, right? :)
The bike was a star here. All cleaned up and shining in the sun.
A nice spacious spot with water wind, but just a 180 degree turn gets us to the very narrow streets.
The sun was soon gonem, and the moon took its place high in the sky.
The only photo in this lot shot with Tamron 70-300.
Bonus, almost monochrome song:
