[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 701516, member: 43342"] Greetings. I am a hobbyist photographer and retired from the US Air Force. I bought a D7200 two years ago and am just getting it out and learning all the functions and settings. (I spent last year taking care of my mother before she passed and didn't have much time to use it.) My wife and I visited the Gettysburg Battlefield this week and I took the following photos of the 72nd PA Infantry monument at sunset. Link to more info: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/72nd_Pennsylvania_Infantry_Monument[/URL] It was interesting to see other photographers leave the moment the sun dipped below the horizon. "Too dark" they said. I found that the colors were changing every few minutes and lasted almost 20 minutes. I'm not sure which is my favorite, and whether landscape or portrait is the best. I submit the following. (BTW - using the kit Nikon 18x140 lens - handheld) [ATTACH=CONFIG]312628._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is a reference photo of the monument. [ATTACH=CONFIG]312629._xfImport[/ATTACH] (Photo #1) This was taken just moments after sunset. [ATTACH=CONFIG]312630._xfImport[/ATTACH] (Photo #2) This was taken about 15 minutes after sunset. I zoomed out to get more of the shafts of light in the sky. [ATTACH=CONFIG]312631._xfImport[/ATTACH] (Photo #3) This was also taken about 15 minutes after sunset. I really like the sky better on #2-3 (except the clear area of the sky on the RH side of #3), but I'm not sure if I like the landscape or portrait mode. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. .
