October 2026 - Surf City Sunset Silhouette

About the Image(s)
This image was captured on my iPhone this past Sunday evening, Sep. 20. While I was out shooting with my DSLR, I decided to try some photos on my iPhone 16 Pro shooting in RAW format at the full 48MP this camera will allow. I was manually playing with exposure reduction in order to get a very pronounced silhouette effect. This was one of my favorites from those that I captured so I decided to try and process it right in Lightroom Mobile, directly on my phone. Aside from the crop, numerous enhancements to color, contrast, etc. were completed.

Whip out the camera this is a stunning sunset. I'm glad you shared the original image also. It shows that you really didn't over saturate the photo. I think I would have taken about 2 inches off the bottom of the photo...just about where the reflective light starts. Beautiful. Posted: 10/02/2026 22:44:00
This is such a lovely image of a sunset. I just love the way the clouds are hanging like a blanket in the sky, and the sun is coming through just under the bridge as it sets. The oranges of the sunset are lovely. I agree with Lori that you could remove a little of the image from the bottom because it doesn't add anything to what you are trying to say.
Great job. Posted: 10/06/2026 20:03:26
