Sunsets

[Tom]

I've tried to capture quite a few sunsets now, I don't have a matte box for my lens, so I've had limited success, but this has to be the best sunset shot I've taken in ages:

The sky was, believe it or not, that exact colour. No filtering or anything, just a bit of fill flash on Steve (the subject). It was taken in the paddock at Valencia circuit, spain, in the evening.

Reminds me of th sky in vanilla sky. Very trippy!

What settings (aperture etc) were used on that shot? If you can remember that is!

More uploadage, this is moi in Valencia a few years ago, taken by my friend who was there working with me...

I've no idea what film was used, most likely Fuji Sensia 400. Sorry for the dusty scan.
