Sunrise and play with settings on camera
This morning we had one of those sunrises which one only gets when there is some clouds around and the rising sun make the clouds look like they on fire.
I have a Canon PowerShot SX20 IS camera and this morning I played around with its sunrise settings. This first photo was taken with the AUTO setting on the dial.
I then change the dial to SCN and the Sunset setting under that. This is the result taking the same photo as above.
As you can see from the second photo, it is much redder. To be honest, the first photo is much more natural and I like that one more. What do you think?
You can see more of this in my Picasa Sunset and Sunrise Album.
