A pleasant sunset scene overlooking the Columbia River bottomlands and the Tualatin Hills from last night. Two panels at 166mm.

Nice work controlling flares shooting straight into the sun.

Thanks Jameel - there was a lot of low altitude haze and thin clouds to temper the direct sunlight and offer some color. These weren't clear skies.

Amazing shot, Alan. You got the whole sun without a big blowout.

Thanks Dave - as I mentioned to Jameel the sky on the horizon is actually somewhat hazy with some thin clouds filtering the sun and adding in the color.

Thanks Beth - same here. By late summer we often get wildfire smoke and this same view would be blood red. Colorful for your sunset but nasty stuff to breathe.
Very cool Alan! I like the view here with that golden sun!
I see 2 sun flares at a quick glance, one in the ground on the left and one on the right. The left one is pretty minimal, but I would remove the one on the right. I wonder how naturally the Generative Fill in Photoshop would remove that flare and leave the background intact?

Thanks Jim - one of the hazards of stitching together panos of a sunset like this is getting two (or more) sun flares in the result. I just took a sequence last night that has 3 more notable flares in it. I'll try Generative Fill on that one and we will find out what it can do.
