Sunset for Two

Tonight my girlfriend and I decided we would go for a walk and wait for the sun to set - then I could use my Sunset filter on my camera to take some images; after some experimenting I think I finally got some I can be proud of...

This is the first sunset image I took out of many, one of the better ones because you can see a deep-red halo around the sun.

This picture is the same thing but at a -45 degree angle-shot.

This one has a bit of a story to it. We were standing on the field taking images and suddenly the wind kicked up so strong I couldn't even stabilize the camera. My girlfriend said "Why is it doing that?" and I looked to my right, then looked to my left and said "Whoa.". And there it was, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, the sunset cast a purple hue on an incoming storm cloud!

This is my girlfriend posing for me with some nature in her hair! It's so beautiful with the cloud behind her, it's almost the same colour as her jacket!

This is my girlfriend with a plant in her hair, I told her to do a sexy pose ;).
All-in-all it was a great day and night; despite the hangover from her Grad After party, but good nonetheless.

    Thank you very much, I take them all myself. Unfortunately, I kind of messed up the posting HTML a little bit; the images don't show full size when you click them like they should, but if you are interested you can check out my picasa album.

    You're getting an awesome silhouette and sunset. The rule of thirds might help you out a little bit.

    Ya my camera automatically does that rule of thirds thing, I've never really known what it's for though - thank you for your input, this will probably help my photography.

    Well a camera can't automatically do it by itself. It's just a basic rule of composition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

    Anyways, keep up the good work. Good luck!

    Oh no, I understand the Rule of Thirds - but the camera does the lines for you so you can visualize it better :P I should have been clearer.
