Golden Sunset.

This photo was taken at the end of the summer 2021. At that time the winds had brought dust from the African continent. The atmosphere was dull and the light was diffused...

I drove 5 minutes from home with my car to a favorite location. The park near my area. It is called fertilizer Park because 2 decades ago there was a fertilizer plant which now stands abandoned. But all the area has been transformed from our mayor to a park next to the sea.

I think that it would be interesting to show a 'before,' photo example.
Bellow is 1 of the 9 exposures I took.
Have in mind that I photograph with a certain technique.
I shoot RAW, at Neutral camera profile and exposing to the right (ETTR) just before highlights are clipped. I do this to achieve the best possible sensor 'saturation' and light/detail information 'recording'. That means that when I do Long Exposure photography I try to get the best possible image file in terms of information and best possible signal to noise ratio and I do my images in post processing.
