Title: Sunsets
Post by: jas67 on September 03, 2016, 07:17:57 PM: I took my 1966 Ducati Monza 250 for a little spin near sunset, and the sky was photo worthy. It was much more spectacular a few minutes before, but, I had to get to a decent spot to take a pic.

Couldn't quite get both the sky and the bike exposed the way I wanted in the same pic (using my phone).

Last week when I had the V7R out at sunset, the sky wasn't nearly as nice as tonight, but, here it is for some Guzzi content in this post.

next time set your flash to manual so it will flash even tho camera sets for the sky exposure..

I did, but, it didn't work. Next time, I'll take my real (DSLR) camera with me.
I've done shots like this with the DSLR and got the desired result.

Of course, this wasn't a planned photo shoot, so, I used what I had with me (phone).

Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a shot. I tried the built-in HDR setting (iPhone 5S), but, it didn't make much of a difference.
