  1. Those are BEAUTIFUL! Amazing how the fence just seems to disappear in the second photo. My grandfather always used to say, "Red sky at night..." (I think it's a pretty universal saying). =)

  3. Two great shots Imac... We've had bright blue skies today.. What a differance to last week. This weather is weird at the moment and by reading other blogs we are not on our own.
    Catch you tomorrow. I'm off to bed now.

  12. They are both beautiful. Great shots.

  13. Ooh. That's tough. I like them both, but the one with flash really made the colors in the sky pop!

  14. Great comparison and beautiful photos. My Sony has a 'nightframing' setting which uses a flash and creates some great sunset photos. I'll miss that feature when I get my Canon.

  16. I like both of them. :)
    Nice colours.

  17. I would have dropped the flash in this setting at once.

    "Half-power" if I for some reason wanted a detail in the foreground.

    A neat example!

  20. I love the photo without flash!

  21. The SkyWatch without the flash was the one I liked best.

  22. With flash is best. Makes more life into the photo

  23. Hi Imac
    Both thses photos are stunning, I wouldn't like to have to choose between them!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Er, sorry about the spelling!

    ReplyDelete
  25. An interesting comparison....I think I like the first the best.

    ReplyDelete
  26. At least the sun's coming out. It does make a great deal of difference to photography.

    Thanks for your continued visits and comments.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Each is beautiful in its own way. I was still trying to catch up with ABC Wed. and got to comment on this one also at the same time. (Just 20 more to go from Wednesday!)

  28. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this colorfully sky watch!!

  29. The flash photo makes the sky colours quite different, and it has an almost surreal look.
    The second has beautiful silhouettes, and I'm a sucker for those!
    Beautiful illustration of the difference technique makes.

    ReplyDelete
  30. that sky is very impressive.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I like the without flash photo better.... Beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Two totally different effects! The purple adds so much to the beauty of the photos! Thank you for sharing! :)

  33. I so dislike using a flash that I found a way to fiddle with the ISO .. these are wonderful examples of how light changes everything

    ReplyDelete
  34. Interesting----I have never thought of using the flash on a sunset or sunrise. I may have to. great pictures anyway you look at it. MB

    ReplyDelete
  35. Gorgeous sky. The colors are spectacular. I like it with the flash.

    ReplyDelete
  36. awesome purple majesty i love when I can catch such natural beauty

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wow! I suppose the *purist* would say, without flash. But they are both beautiful.

  38. I love the second shot better, i like using my camera without a flash i take much better photo using the natural light..;) Love the look of the sky very colorful..;)

    ReplyDelete
  39. It is more natural without the flash, but the flash shot has some of the most awesome colors. Both are great!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I love the comparison shots. Usually, if I use the flash on sunrise/sunset pics, it tends to leach the colours out, but you've had no such trouble - your skills are obviously greater than mine :).

    ReplyDelete
  41. Second shot gets my vote, maestro - but you knew I would say that!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I love them both! Awesome shots Imac!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Wow. The colors! They are just so stunning! I hope you don't want me to say which I prefer because that is impossible.

    ReplyDelete
  44. wow. you just demonstrated the science of light much better than my professors did. great sky shots!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hard to decide which one I like best.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I like them both, but the one with the flash best.

    I love how modern cameras have such sophisticated flash so that both the foreground and background are properly lit.
