Sunset on Skye

Sunset over the Cuillins, Isle of Skye, from Badicaul
A busy day today meant it was quite late on when I managed to get around to thinking about taking my daily photograph.  That being said I think the wait was worth it as I set off in the car to Badicaul to try and catch a view of Skye as the light faded.  I was very lucky just catching this lovely sunset as the sun disappeared behind Broadford.  This was taken using the Canon EOS 5D on a tripod with my Tamron 28-300mm zoom lens set at 28mm at 0.6 s, f/16 at ISO 100.  Great clouds and vibrant colours.  I also took a few other photos from different perspectives/zooms with the best couple shown below.

Sunset on the Cuillins (HDR)
I tried the HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique on the main view as well, mainly to try and get a little more detail from the foreground tree on the right.  However, because there was a bit of a breeze and this method needs three images to be taken using auto exposure bracketing the delay has produced a loss of clarity and definition in the branches, looking like they are in fact out of focus.  Also, I think I prefer the colours in the simple single exposure image at the top of this post.
