Exceptional cloud underlit sunset on an unnamed face of avalanche chutes and clouds above, John Muir Wilderness August 2007, 4x5 Provia 100F through my 150mm Nikor.

Like most people I too have spent a lot of time capturing images dawn/sunrise/sunset/dusk. Some with the rising/setting sun in the pic, some with light on the sky, and some with the light on the landscape as this. Today most of the material ones sees marketed publicly has been altered from reality especially with post processing tools. The bar would be really high even without manipulation. That is fine with me as long as photographers are up front and honest about what they have done. Unfortunately few are so today instead subscribing to the no comment status quo. Some obviously tend to resent the fact I'm one to bring the subject up regularly on web communities reminding them. Thus the public tends to have little trust in what they see these days with this arguably most cliche subject. Because of that I have removed warm light sky/cloud material from my site gallery simply because I'd rather show the material in person and allow people to ask me about the images one on one. ...David

Here's a couple of unusal ones:

Sunset at Land's End Beach, San Francisco Attachment 9321

and Sunset at Pirates Cove Attachment 9323

Note: Both locations are within 10 miles from each other. Except for a ND filter at exposure (a little heavy in the Pirates Cove image I'm afraid), no post exposure enhancement was used. Both are straight scans on an Epson 3200.

All the Best,

Thomas

With me being a bit too lazy for sunrises, here are a pair of sunsets...
Llandudno: Cambo sc23, SA 47mm f8, 0.9 and 0.6 ND grads, velvia 100
Sequoia sunset: Ebony sv45ti, Nikkor sw 75mm f4, 0.6 ND grad, velvia

From the summit of Mauna Kea, sunset, happened too fast to take notes on how I was shooting, but it is Velvia 50 on a Linhof MT. I know it's not terribly out of the ordinary, but I kind of like the way the way it worked out despite me.

Both images are wonderful.
When I lived in CT, I spent a lot of time photographing on the rocks between camps bay and llandudno - beautiful sunsets.
