Sunset,

Given last week was a little quiet around RejectReality, I’m going for a double-post tonight.

V & I were out and about all over the place on Saturday; catching up with some friends for lunch at the Oxford (congratulations K&J!), then way down south for an engagement party for one of V’s cousins in the evening and killed some time in between with a movie - V’s choice (as I wasn’t going to make her sit through Sin City). We saw Monster-in-Law; fortunately, it wasn’t as horrendous as I thought it would be, for a chick flick.
With an hour to kill between Marion and the engagement party, we went for a drive next to the beach around Seaford.

Cue one decent sunset and a fully charged digicam, and this is what you get. I’m quite happy with how it turned out, considering it was taken in near pitch-black, no flash, balanced on the steering wheel of my car (with all the windscreeny goodness that entails to screw up your focus when shooting from inside the car), 6 second exposure (with no stabilisation) and probably two or three other elements which really should have meant death for this photo.

A minor histogram-based levels adjustment in photoshop and score one for the good guys!
