Any how I have been trying over the past few days to get a sunset shot that I am really happy with. After numerous attempts I still was not happy with the outcome so I turned to Photoshop Elements. I am still ropey with this software and currently STILL with a borrowed book, studied at ways of making the shot look that little bit better. And thanks to shooting in RAW there was a way by correcting the white balance and adding some saturation to the image.

So as you can see the image turned out quite well and one that I am particularly happy with. This was taken once again up at North Shore in Blackpool, plus I wanted to get the edge of the kart track in the image with the sunlight slightly bouncing off it. Getting shots like this make me want to continue plus start to put money away for more kit…. donations anyonr hahahaha.
